Resumen del Recurso

X-rays
  1. Part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
    1. High frequency and very short wave length
      1. Their wavelength is about the same size as the diameter of an atom
    2. Properties
      1. Affect a photographic film in the same way as light
        1. Are absorbed by metal and bone
          1. Are transmitted by healthy tissue
            1. Can be filled with contrast medium that absorbs X-rays so that they can be seen on an X-ray image
            2. Can be used to treat cancerous tumours at or near the body surface
            3. Are used to form images of bones on photographic film
              1. Check for fractures and dental problems
              2. Charge-coupled devices (CCDs)
                1. Used to form electronic images of X-rays
                2. CT scanners
                  1. Use X-rays to produce digital images of a cross-section through the body
                  2. Risks
                    1. Cn cause ionisation
                      1. Can damage living tissue when they pass through it
                      2. Precautions
                        1. Workers should wear film badges
                          1. Use lead screens to shield them from the X-rays
