A radiologist interpreting magnetic resonance imaging Dr. Macintyre's X-Ray Film (1896). Radiology (/ ˌ r eɪ d ɪ ˈ ɒ l ə dʒ i / rey-dee-ol-uh-jee) is the medical specialty that uses medical imaging to diagnose diseases and guide treatment within the bodies of humans and other animals.
The radioactive gamma rays are emitted through the body as the natural decaying process of these isotopes takes place. The emissions of the gamma rays are captured by detectors that surround the body. This essentially means that the human is now the source of the radioactivity, rather than the medical imaging devices such as X-ray or CT.
Anomalous X-ray scattering (MAD or SAD phasing) – the X-ray wavelength may be scanned past an absorption edge [a] of an atom, which changes the scattering in a known way. By recording full sets of reflections at three different wavelengths (far below, far above and in the middle of the absorption edge) one can solve for the substructure of ...
A coupon-eligible converter box (CECB) was a digital television adapter that met eligibility specifications for subsidy "coupons" from the United States government.The subsidy program was enacted to provide terrestrial television viewers with an affordable way to continue receiving free digital terrestrial television services after the nation's television service transitioned to digital ...
Compared to the lowest dose X-ray techniques, CT scans can have 100 to 1,000 times higher dose than conventional X-rays. [149] However, a lumbar spine X-ray has a similar dose as a head CT. [ 150 ] Articles in the media often exaggerate the relative dose of CT by comparing the lowest-dose X-ray techniques (chest X-ray) with the highest-dose CT ...
The amount of x-rays emitted by a CRT can also lowered by reducing the brightness of the image. [134] [135] [136] [100] Leaded glass is used because it is inexpensive, [137] while also shielding heavily against x-rays, although some funnels may also contain barium.
