- 2. 10cm Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen • On November 8, 1895, physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen becomes the first person to observe x-rays • Röntgen’s discovery occurred accidentally in his Wurzburg 1895, physicist Germany lab where he was testing whether cathode rays could pass through glass when he notice a glow coming from a nearby chemically coated screen • W.C Röntgen reported the discovery of x-rays in December 1895 after 7 weeks of assiduous work during which he had studied the properties of this new type of radiation able to go through screens of notable thickness The important person behind the discovery of x-ray 2 Ref X-Ray Exp /
- 3. 10cm what is x-ray? • x-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light. • x-rays have higher energy and can past through most objects including the body. • x-ray wavelengths are shorter than those of UV rays and typically longer than those of Gamma rays 3 Ref X-Ray Exp /
- 4. 10cm CHARACTERISTICS OF X-RAY • They have a shorter wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum. • Requires high voltage to produce X-Rays. • They are used to capture the human skeleton defects. • They travel in a straight line and do not carry an electric charge with them. • They are capable of travelling in a vacuum. 4 Ref X-Ray Exp /
- 5. 10cm USES AND BENEFITS OF X- RAYS • noninvasively and painlessly help to diagnose disease and monitor therapy; • support medical and surgical treatment planning • guide medical personnel as they insert catheters, stents, or other devices inside the body, treat tumors, or remove blood clots or other blockages 5 Ref X-Ray Exp /
- 6. 10cm HARMFUL EFFECTS OF X-RAY • Being exposed to X-rays does carry a risk of causing cancer many years or decades later • Tissue effects such as cataracts, skin reddening, and hair loss, which occur at relatively high levels of radiation exposure 6 Ref X-Ray Exp /
