2. Digital radiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_radiography

   Instead of X-ray film, digital radiography uses a digital image capture device. This gives advantages of immediate image preview and availability; elimination of costly film processing steps; a wider dynamic range, which makes it more forgiving for over- and under-exposure; as well as the ability to apply special image processing techniques ...

3. X-ray - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray

   Natural color X-ray photogram of a wine scene. Note the edges of hollow cylinders as compared to the solid candle. William Coolidge explains medical imaging and X-rays.. An X-ray (also known in many languages as Röntgen radiation) is a form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than those of ultraviolet rays and longer than those of gamma rays.

4. Radiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiography

   Radiography is an imaging technique using X-rays, gamma rays, or similar ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation to view the internal form of an object.Applications of radiography include medical ("diagnostic" radiography and "therapeutic radiography") and industrial radiography.

5. Shoe-fitting fluoroscope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe-fitting_fluoroscope

   The x-ray tube was removed to render the apparatus harmless before being put on public display, due to the possible risk of radiation burn or other health problems if it were switched on. The risk of radiation burns to extremities was known since Wilhelm Röntgen 's 1895 experiment, but this was a short-term effect with early warning from ...

6. Radiation damage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_damage

   Research in this area has focused on the three most common sources of radiation used for these applications, including gamma, electron beam, and x-ray radiation. [17] The mechanisms of radiation damage are different for polymers and metals, since dislocations and grain boundaries do not have real significance in a polymer.

7. Fluoroscopy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroscopy

   Just as movies, TV, and web videos are to a substantive extent no longer separate technologies, but only variations on common underlying digital themes, so, too, are the X-ray imaging modes, and indeed, the term "X-ray imaging" is the ultimate hypernym that unites all of them, even subsuming both fluoroscopy and four-dimensional CT (4DCT ...

8. Radiation protection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_protection

   Monument to the X-ray and Radium Martyrs of All Nations erected 1936 at St. Georg hospital in Hamburg, commemorating 359 early radiology workers. The dangers of radioactivity and radiation were not immediately recognized. The discovery of x‑rays in 1895 led to widespread experimentation by scientists, physicians, and inventors.

9. Alice Stewart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Stewart

   She was the first person to demonstrate the link between x-rays of pregnant women and high cancer rates in their children. [1] She was awarded the Right Livelihood Award in 1986 "for bringing to light in the face of official opposition the real dangers of low-level radiation."
