\"X-ray<\/p>\n

X-rays have become an integral part of medical diagnostics. Bone fractures and internal diseases are visualised for the human eye so that appropriate treatment can be given. The intensity of the radiation is determined by three factors that the radiologist can adjust. <\/p>\n

X-rays are used to visualise anatomical structures inside the body. The radiographic exposure factors influence the doctor's ability to make a correct diagnosis. During treatment with X-rays, the patient is exposed to a dose of radiation. Digital X-ray systems can manipulate the grey shading on the X-ray image, but it is more important not to expose the patient to a higher dose of radiation than necessary. <\/p>\n

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation. X-rays have a wavelength of between 0.01 and 10 nanometres and are shorter than UV rays and longer than gamma rays. A distinction is made between soft X-rays (10 to 0.10 nm) and hard X-rays (0.10 to 0.01 nm), depending on their penetrability. Hard X-rays can penetrate solid objects and are mainly used in diagnostic radiology and crystallography. Soft X-rays can hardly penetrate matter at all; the attenuation range of 600eV X-rays in water is less than one micrometre. <\/p>\n

\n

The radiologist can set three factors for the radiation emission. These are milliampere-seconds, voltage peak and the distance of the radiation source from the exposure device. These factors determine the amount of X-rays produced and their capacity to penetrate the human body. These are described as the quantity and quality of the rays.<\/p>\n

\n

Radiation quantity and exposure: The product of amperage (current) and time is measured here in milliampereseconds (mAs) and determines the quantity of X-rays generated during exposure. The amperage refers to the proportion of electrons that flow through the tube per second. The time measures the duration of the exposure. The amount of X-rays hitting the film or image receptor determines the darkness of the image.<\/p>\n

\n

Voltage peak: The voltage peak controls the strength and quality of the rays. X-rays that cannot pass through the body can be seen as whitish areas on the X-ray image. Dense tissue such as bone absorbs more radiation and therefore appears lighter in colour than connective tissue. On the image, kVp (kilovoltage peak) is used to check the contrast, i.e. the difference between the light and dark areas. An X-ray beam with a higher voltage results in lower contrast and produces an image with more shades of grey.<\/p>\n

\n

Distance of the X-ray tube to the patient: The closer the X-ray tube is to the receptor and the patient, the stronger the irradiation. The distance from the X-ray machine to the object is usually preset, but in certain situations the distance can be set manually.<\/p>\n
