  2. Shoe-fitting fluoroscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe-fitting_fluoroscope

    Shoe-fitting fluoroscopes, also sold under the names X-ray Shoe Fitter, Pedoscope and Foot-o-scope, were X-ray fluoroscope machines installed in shoe stores from the 1920s until about the 1970s in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Germany and Switzerland. [1] In the UK, they were known as Pedoscopes, after the ...

    X-ray art and fine art photography, artistic use of X-rays, for example the works by Stane Jagodič; X-ray hair removal, a method popular in the 1920s but now banned by the FDA. [142] Shoe-fitting fluoroscopes were popularized in the 1920s, banned in the US in the 1960s, in the UK in the 1970s, and later in continental Europe.

  4. History of computed tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computed_tomography

    The history of X-ray computed tomography (CT) dates back to at least 1917 with the mathematical theory of the Radon transform. [1][2] In the early 1900s an Italian radiologist named Alessandro Vallebona invented tomography (named "stratigrafia") which used radiographic film to see a single slice of the body. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] It was ...

  6. X-ray crystallography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_crystallography

    A powder X-ray diffractometer in motion. X-ray crystallography is the experimental science of determining the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal, in which the crystalline structure causes a beam of incident X-rays to diffract in specific directions. By measuring the angles and intensities of the X-ray diffraction, a crystallographer ...

  7. CT scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_scan

    Compared to the lowest dose X-ray techniques, CT scans can have 100 to 1,000 times higher dose than conventional X-rays. [148] However, a lumbar spine X-ray has a similar dose as a head CT. [ 149 ] 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 ...

  8. X-ray detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_detector

    X-ray detector. Acquisition of projectional radiography, with an X-ray generator and an imaging detector. X-ray detectors are devices used to measure the flux, spatial distribution, spectrum, and/or other properties of X-rays. Detectors can be divided into two major categories: imaging detectors (such as photographic plates and X-ray film ...

  9. Fluoroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroscopy

    Fluoroscopy (/ flʊəˈrɒskəpi /) [1], informally referred to as " fluoro ", is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the interior of an object. In its primary application of medical imaging, a fluoroscope (/ ˈflʊərəˌskoʊp /) [2][3] allows a surgeon to see the internal structure and function of a ...
