X-ray sources are vacuum tubes that use an electrostatic field to produce X-rays. They accelerate electrons to a high velocity and then suddenly stop them. X-ray tubes, as X-ray sources are sometimes ...

Digital radiology may represent the greatest technological advancement in medical imaging in the last decade. The use of radiographic films in X ray imaging might become obsolete in a few years. An ...

The next day, a specialist diagnosed their daughter not with spina bifida, but with a sacrococcygeal teratoma, a rare fetal tumor that forms from the baby’s tailbone. It occurs in one in every ...

Humans do not have tails, but do we have “what it takes” for a tail? Hens don’t have teeth, but they have the genes for it. With atavism, it is as if our genomes serve as archives of our ...

The images in radiography are created by passing an X-ray beam through some section of a patient’s body. They are recorded either on film or some form of digital media. Generally, the images recorded ...

This module will provide students with a knowledge and understanding of the scientific principles that underpin the production, recording and display of medical images and the safe operation of ...

While we typically encourage hackers to make their own tools or machines when practical, x-ray machines don’t usually make that list. Despite the risk of radiation, [William Osman] has done just ...

Radiography is the use of X-rays or gamma rays to examine non-uniformly composed material; images are recorded on a sensitized surface, such as photographic film or a digital detector. Medical ...

An X-ray pulse may be able to vaporize the surface of an asteroid and change its trajectory, according to a proof-of-concept paper published in Nature Physics. For larger rocks or smaller ones ...

Our new radiography suite simulates real work settings, allowing you to put theory into practice. Teaching is delivered by academic staff who are actively engaged in clinical radiography, as well as ...

Several factors increase your risk of this condition: The piriformis muscle connects the sacrum (the part of the spine below ...
