X-Ray Machines
X-ray machines are vital diagnostic tools in modern medicine. They use radiation to produce images of the internal structures of the body, aiding in the diagnosis of various conditions, such as fractures, infections, and tumors. Key points about X-ray machines include:
- Types of X-Rays: There are several types, including conventional X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and fluoroscopy, each serving different diagnostic purposes.
- Safety Measures: To minimize radiation exposure, technicians adhere to safety protocols, including lead shielding and limiting exposure times.
