a portable x - ray machine is a compact apparatus that can be taken to the patient in a hospital bed or the emergency room. the x - ray tube is connected to a flexible arm that is extended over the patient while an x - ray film holder or image recording plate is placed beneath the patient .
the equipment may also be arranged with the x - ray tube suspended over a table on which the patient lies. a drawer under the table holds the x - ray film or digital recording plate .
since film is more sensitive to light than to x - ray exposure, film can be exposed with much less radiation if an intensifying screen is used. conventional x - ray film has an x - ray exposure sensitivity in the range of 50 mr to 150 mr if exposed directly by the x - radiation. . when the film is combined with intensifying screens, the sensitivity ranges from approximately 0. 1 mr to 10 mr, depending on the type of screen and film used .
the sensitivity (speed) of an intensifying screen - film receptor depends on the type of screen and film used in addition to the conditions under which they are used and the film is processed .
one of the limitations of film for recording x - ray images is its relatively narrow exposure latitude or dynamic range. image contrast is reduced or completely lost when the exposures are not well within the film latitude. this is the contrast transfer characteristics of the film, which are discussed in the chapter

if the film and intensifying screen surfaces do not make good contact, the light will spread, as shown below, and will produce image blurring. this is an abnormal condition that occurs when a cassette or film changer is defective and does not apply sufficient pressure over the entire film area. inadequate film - screen contact usually produces blurring in only a portion of the image area .
for some studies, the patient will be asked to hold their breath for up to 20 seconds .
any gp referral for a chest x - ray is now made electronically and the gp will hand the patient a sheet of paper to present at the x - ray department. the patient has 7 days from the date of this referral to attend between the hours of 11am and 3pm, if a patient does not attend within this time frame they will be contacted by x - ray appointments to arrange a suitable appointment date and time. if you have a request made by your gp for a chest x - ray your gp will request this electronically
modern x - ray systems have very controlled x - ray beams and dose control methods to minimize stray (scatter) radiation. this ensures that those parts of a patient' s body not being imaged receive minimal radiation exposure .
patients must complete a radiology patient health information release form before the report or images can be released to the patient. the release form is not necessary for the physician who ordered the exam to receive the report .
if the film emulsion does not completely absorb the light from the intensifying screen, the unabsorbed light from one side can pass through the film base and expose the emulsion on the other side. this is commonly referred to as crossover. as the light passes through the film base, it can spread and introduce image blur, as illustrated above. many modern film - screen receptor systems are designed to minimize crossover blurring. crossover can be decreased by placing a light - absorbing layer between the film emulsion and film base, using a base material that selectively absorbs the light wavelengths emitted by the intensifying screens, and designing the film emulsion to increase light absorption. it is not a significant problem with modern radiographic systems .
most receptors are given a nominal speed rating by the manufacturer. the actual speed varies, especially with the x - ray spectrum (kv) and film processing conditions .

x - rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light. unlike light, however, x - rays have higher energy and can pass through most objects, including the body. medical x - rays are used to generate images of tissues and structures inside the body. if x - rays travelling through the body also pass through an x - ray detector on the other side of the patient, an image will be formed that represents the “shadows” formed by the objects inside the body. one type of x - ray detector is photographic film, but there are many other types of detectors that are used to produce digital images. the x - ray images that result from this process are called radiographs .
note: the contrast in the x - ray beam coming from a patient' s body is greatly diminished by the scattered radiation produced within the body. that is considered in the next chapter .

the ct scanner looks like a large donut with a narrow table in the middle. unlike mri, in which the patient would be placed inside the tunnel of the scanner, when undergoing a ct scan, the patient rarely experiences claustrophobia because of the openness of the doughnut shape of the scanner. typically the patient lies on their back on the table, which moves through the center of the machine. the patient moves through the scanner either head first or feet first, depending on the part of the body being scanned. for certain scans such as sinuses and middle ear, the patient would lie on their stomach and go through head first .
x - rays are a form of radiation like light or radio waves. x - rays pass through most objects, including the body. once it is carefully aimed at the part of the body being examined, an x - ray machine produces a small burst of radiation that passes through the body, recording an image on photographic film or a special detector .

this was a decent film and i enjoyed it barely enough – it was a bit of a disappointment. director yam laranas’ film before this titled “sigaw” is one of my top ten favorite films of all time. i highly recommend taking a peek at sigaw if you have a chance. laranas’ brilliant cinematography is complemented by a more engaging story line, and also richard guttierez’s acting is far superior. i felt like they both kind of just coasted along in patient x .
plain film work is done on a prioritised “demand basis” (as they are needed depending on how sick the patient is) so there may be a wait depending on how busy the department is when you attend. gp patients for most plain film examinations are sent appointments outside the busiest times –weekday afternoons, early evenings and saturdays. current waits for routine apointments are around 3 - 4 weeks .

until recently, x - ray images were maintained on large film sheets (much like a large photographic negative). today, most images are digital files that are stored electronically. these stored images are easily accessible and are frequently compared to current x - ray images for diagnosis and disease management .

the department is responsible for all plain film work (normal x - rays) in the hospital. it is located on the ground floor of weston general hospital. plain films include chest x - rays, x - rays for trauma (broken bones), accident and emergency work, in patients and out patients. the department also operates an appointment service for gp plain films .
the reaction to the contrast is almost always immediate, so it is very rare to have a reaction after the patient leaves the facility. however, if a patient thinks they are having a delayed reaction to the contrast, they should call the facility where they had the exam .
typically, two views of the chest are taken, one from the back and the other from the side of the body as the patient stands against the image recording plate. the technologist, an individual specially trained to perform radiology examinations, will position the patient with hands on hips and chest pressed against the image plate. for the second view, the patient' s side is against the image plate with arms elevated .
the x - ray images are captured by the receptor and recorded in some form. this can be on film, or on stimulable phosphor plates or some digital media for digital radiography. a desirable characteristic of radiographic recording methods is that all of the contrast in the x - ray image is fully recorded .
these are imaged through one x - ray room and are imaged according to clinical priority according to how sick a patient is (i. e. some patients may wait if sicker patients need x - rays at the same time). demand is always high and there may be patients waiting outside the room .

a transfer of care document identifies all queries that we need to know about patients prior to them coming for a procedure e. g. does the patient require oxygen or are they travelling in a trolley or bed? every ward is contacted for each patient prior to an x - ray in order to obtain the information to fill out the transfer of care document and to make arrangements for the patient’s transfer. theatre staff should inform radiographers of theatre cases 20 minutes before requiring our services, so we have time to prepare .
the gp electronically requests the test (occasionally this may be via fax), this is then picked up by the x - ray appointments team who directly contact the patient to offer an appointment time on one of the above clinics .
ct scanners first began to be installed in 1974. ct scanners have vastly improved patient comfort because a scan can be done quickly. improvements have led to higher - resolution images, which assist the doctor in making a diagnosis. for example, the ct scan can help doctors to visualize small nodules or tumors, which they cannot see with a plain film x - ray .
the receptor used for most radiographic procedures contains two intensifying screens mounted on each side of double - emulsion film. using two screens in this manner increases x - ray absorption and receptor sensitivity with the least amount of image blurring. in some procedures that require high image detail, such as mammography, one intensifying screen is used in conjunction with a single - emulsion film .
the chest x - ray is performed to evaluate the lungs, heart and chest wall .
x - rays usually have no side effects in the typical diagnostic range for this exam .
the selection of a screen is generally a compromise between exposure and image quality, as illustrated below. thin screens absorb a relatively small fraction of the x - ray photons; thicker screens absorb a greater fraction and thus require less x - radiation to produce the same film exposure. unfortunately, increasing screen thickness also increases image blur .

a characteristic of radiographic film is that its ability to display object contrast is reduced in areas that are either very light (mediastinum) or relatively dark (lungs). if there is a relatively high level of contrast between areas within an image, then the contrast of objects within these areas can be reduced because of film limitations. two actions can be taken to minimize the problem. one is to use a wide latitude film that reduces area contrast and improves visibility within the individual areas in many situations; this is described in the chapter titled ,
film contrast characteristics .
the other action is to use a very penetrating x - ray beam produced by high kv and more filtration than is used for other types of radiography .
the conventional test for film - screen contact is to radiograph a wire mesh. areas within the image where contact is inadequate will appear to have a different density than the other areas. this variation in image density is most readily seen when the film is viewed from a distance of approximately 10 ft and at an angle .

when light encounters a boundary between materials, reflection can occur at the boundary surface. reflections at boundaries between film emulsion, film base, intensifying screens, and cassette surfaces are known as halation and contribute to image blur. single - emulsion films generally have a light - absorbing layer coated on the other side of the base to prevent halation .

the chest x - ray is a very useful examination, but it has limitations. because some conditions of the chest cannot be detected on a conventional chest x - ray image, this examination cannot necessarily rule out all problems in the chest. for example, small cancers may not show up on a chest x - ray. a blood clot in the lungs, a condition called a pulmonary embolism, cannot be seen on chest x - rays .
there are two basic ways to create images with x - radiation. one method is to pass an x - ray beam through the body section and project a shadow image onto the receptor. the second method, used in computed tomography (ct), employs a digital computer to calculate (reconstruct) an image from x - ray penetration data obtained by scanning a relatively thin beam over the patient' s body. at this time, we consider only projection imaging, which is the basic process employed in radiography and fluoroscopy .
different types of intensifying screens are available for clinical use. the selection of a screen for a specific procedure is usually based on a compromise between the requirements for image detail and patient exposure .
the amount of x - ray contrast produced is determined by the physical contrast characteristics (atomic number, density, and thickness) of the object and the penetrating characteristics (photon energy spectrum) of the x - ray beam .
an x - ray (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions. imaging with x - rays involves exposing a part of the body to a small dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body. x - rays are the oldest and most frequently used form of medical imaging .
after the credits there is a scene at the hospital, where the comatose man from the video that xavier showed his students is lying in a hospital bed. dr. moira mactaggart enters the room to see the sleeping patient, only to be greeted by the professor' s voice coming from him. dr. moira looks towards her patient in disbelief and says

different parts of the body absorb the x - rays in varying degrees. dense bone absorbs much of the radiation while soft tissue, such as muscle, fat and organs, allow more of the x - rays to pass through them. as a result, bones appear white on the x - ray, soft tissue shows up in shades of gray and air appears black .

in addition to the x - ray penetration characteristics to be considered in this chapter, image contrast is significantly affected by scattered radiation (scattered radiation and contrast) and the contrast characteristics of the receptor and display system. (film contrast characteristics). also, the contrast of small objects within the body and anatomical detail is reduced by image blurring (blur, resolution, and visibility of detail and radiographic detail). as the x - ray beam emerges from the patient' s body it contains an image in the form of variations in exposure across the image area. this is formed by variations in the attenuation through different parts of the body. in this attenuation image contrast is represented by the amount of variation in x - ray exposure between points within the image; the amount of contrast produced in a specific examination is determined by both the physical characteristics of the body section and the penetrating characteristics of the x - ray beam .
although the total energy of the light emitted by a screen is much less than the total x - ray energy the screen receives, the light energy is much more efficient in exposing film because it is
repackaged
into a much larger number of photons. if we assume a 5% energy conversion efficiency, then one 50 - kev x - ray photon can produce 1, 000 blue - green light photons with an energy of 2. 5 ev each .
women should always inform their physician and x - ray technologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant. many imaging tests are not performed during pregnancy so as not to expose the fetus to radiation. if an x - ray is necessary, precautions will be taken to minimize radiation exposure to the baby. see the safety page for more information about pregnancy and x - rays .
calcium tungstate, the most common screen material for many years, uses tungsten as the absorbing element. the k edge of tungsten is at 69. 4 kev. for most x - ray examinations, a major portion of the x - ray beam spectrum falls below this energy. for this reason, screens containing tungsten are limited with respect to x - ray absorption. today, most intensifying screens contain either barium, lanthanum, gadolinium, or yttrium as the absorbing element. the k edge of these elements is below a major portion of the typical x - ray beam spectrum. this increases the chance of x - ray interaction and absorption .

contrast is not the only thing that must be considered in selecting the spectrum for a specific procedure. the spectrum also affects the penetration through the body section being imaged. this has a significant effect on the radiation dose to the patient. also, as the penetration through a body section is reduced, the amount of radiation required from the x - ray tube is increased with a resulting increase in x - ray tube heating. we will see examples as we consider specific procedures .
the inpatient x - ray is situated in waiting area 4 for plain radiography examinations. we see 12, 675 patients a year, however we hope to increase this number with the help of two extra porters who are critical to the flow of patients in and out of the department. inpatient work includes plain film, mobile work and theatre .

the first step in obtaining optimum contrast in an x - ray image is to adjust the x - ray beam spectrum for the specific anatomy and clinical purpose. the penetration and the resulting contrast of a specific object or structure in the body generally depends on the photon energy spectrum .
moira is one of the most significant characters; she indirectly caused the paralysis of charles’ legs, as well being the first non - mutant to serve as an x - men member, and the one who suggested the name of the team in x - men: first class .
to create a radiograph, a patient is positioned so that the part of the body being imaged is located between an x - ray source and an x - ray detector. when the machine is turned on, x - rays travel through the body and are absorbed in different amounts by different tissues, depending on the radiological density of the tissues they pass through. radiological density is determined by both the density and the atomic number (the number of protons in an atom’s nucleus) of the materials being imaged. for example, structures such as bone contain calcium, which has a higher atomic number than most tissues. because of this property, bones readily absorb x - rays and, thus, produce high contrast on the x - ray detector. as a result, bony structures appear whiter than other tissues against the black background of a radiograph. conversely, x - rays travel more easily through less radiologically dense tissues such as fat and muscle, as well as through air - filled cavities such as the lungs. these structures are displayed in shades of gray on a radiograph .

if one looks at a standard x - ray image or radiograph (such as a chest x - ray), it appears as if they are looking through the body. ct and mri are similar to each other, but provide a much different view of the body than an x - ray does. ct and mri produce cross - sectional images that appear to open the body up, allowing the doctor to look at it from the inside. mri uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce images, while ct uses x - rays to produce images. plain x - rays are an inexpensive, quick test and are accurate at diagnosing things such as pneumonia, arthritis, and fractures. ct and mri better to evaluate soft tissues such as the brain, liver, and abdominal organs, as well as to visualize subtle abnormalities that may not be apparent on regular x - ray tests .

the first function performed by the intensifying screen is to absorb the x - ray beam (energy) emerging from the patient' s body. the ideal intensifying screen would absorb all x - ray energy that enters it; real intensifying screens are generally not thick enough to absorb all of the photons. as we discuss later, increasing the thickness of an intensifying screen to increase its absorption capabilities degrades image quality. in most cases, a significant portion of x - ray energy is not absorbed by the screen material and penetrates the receptor. this is wasted radiation since it does not contribute to image formation and film exposure. the absorption efficiency is the percentage of incident radiation absorbed by the screen material. an ideal screen would have a 100% absorption efficiency; actual screens generally have absorption efficiencies less than 100% . absorption efficiency is primarily determined by three factors: (1) screen material, (2) screen thickness, and (3) the photon energy spectrum .
there is local expertise in the x - ray department to perform a wide range of interventional procedures. these procedures involve the use of scanning equipment or x - rays to perform biopsies (taking tissue samples) and other key - hole type techniques. these procedures can be used to treat patients and avoid surgery .

this weekend marks the seventh anniversary of the film “i want to believe, ” which itself came out six years after what we then called the series finale of the show about two fbi agents investigating the paranormal. which means it’s the seventh anniversary of many people realizing that not only was “the x - files” a franchise that had aged beyond its prime, but maybe it should have remained silent since its unofficial end .
out of the various criticisms levelled against the film, one that kept coming up was the treatment of deadpool. while reynolds' s initial portrayal was fine, he appeared later in the movie (spoilers !) as a mind - controller monster with no mouth .
the x - ray imaging process transfers physical contrast from within a body (produced by differences in densities and atomic numbers) to visible contrast displayed in an image .
the spectrum of an x - ray beam is determined by combinations of the anode material, the filter material and thickness, and the selected kv for the procedure .
we recall that the spectrum is determined by three factors: (1) x - ray tube anode material, (2) x - ray beam filtration, and (3) kv. since most x - ray examinations are performed with tungsten anode tubes, the first factor cannot be used to adjust contrast. the exception is the use of molybdenum and rhodium anode tubes in mammography. most x - ray machines for general radiography and fluoroscopy have essentially the same amount of filtration, which is a few millimeters of aluminum. two exceptions are molybdenum and rhodium filters used with molybdenum anode tubes in mammography and copper or brass filters, sometimes used in chest radiography .

ct of the chest is frequently used to further study an abnormality on a plain chest x - ray. it is also often used to look for enlarged lymph nodes .
we also get a first proper look x - men negasonic teenage warhead and colossus, as well as villains angel dust and ajax and wade wilson' s lover vanessa .
an insatiably curious lil' kitten with admittedly odd tastes in film and music, addicted to spicy food and berry wine coolers... . generally playful but with a surprising fierceness when annoyed. but don' t worry... she' s had all her shots !
x - ray radiography: detects bone fractures, certain tumors and other abnormal masses, pneumonia, some types of injuries, calcifications, foreign objects, dental problems, etc .
mind transfer: when his body was destroyed in x - men: the last stand, he transferred his consciousness into a host body; his twin brother p. xavier .
both the stimulable phosphor plates and direct digital recording methods generally capture and record all of the contrast in the x - ray image because of their wide dynamic range for exposure .
out of hours urgent plain x - rays for saint mary’s may be performed by the children’s department; please contact mri radiology to discuss, please click here for more information .
ct (computed tomography): combines traditional x - ray technology with computer processing to generate a series of cross - sectional images of the body that can later be combined to form a three - dimensional x - ray image. ct images are more detailed than plain radiographs and give doctors the ability to view structures within the body from many different angles .
skilled hand - to - hand combatant - moira has some degree of fighting experience. this shown when she knocks a man out with one blow in x - men: apocalypse .
film is chemically processed to convert the invisible recorded image into a visible image. if the chemical processing is deficient (because of inadequate processor quality control, incorrect chemistry, etc) some of the recorded image contrast (and visibility of objects) might not be transferred into visible image contrast .
the contrast in the invisible image emerging from the patient' s body is an image of the different attenuations through the body and is sometimes referred to as subject contrast, especially in older publications. the contrast in the attenuation image is represented by the difference in exposure among various points within the image area .
x - ray contrast is produced because x - ray penetration through an object differs from the penetration through the adjacent background tissue. for objects that attenuate more of the radiation than the adjacent tissue, contrast is inversely related to object penetration. maximum (100 %) contrast is produced when no radiation penetrates the object. metal objects (lead bullets, rods, etc .) are good examples. contrast is reduced as x - ray penetration through the object increases. when object penetration approaches the penetration through an equal thickness of surrounding tissue, contrast disappears .
we are situated in the clinical radiology department at manchester royal infirmary. you can find us in the viewing area 4, main x - ray department in the purple zone of mri .
you can obtain a copy of your images before you leave johns hopkins radiology after having your exam. if you did not request during your appointment, please complete the patient release form and email, fax or mail it to the eradiology center. a valid photo id is required when picking up your radiology records .
a dismayed noel ferrer, calzado' s manager, also shared his reaction on social media, saying :
it will be so unfortunate and such a waste if a film that has earned rave reviews and international honors won' t be allowed to be screened to filipinos in its integral version .
a doctor would not tell a patient' s family that there was
nothing more that could been done
unless he or she had consulted with multiple professionals beforehand. to do so would not only risk a lawsuit, it would risk the state medical board restrict or removing the doctor' s license to practice .
x - ray equipment is relatively inexpensive and widely available in emergency rooms, physician offices, ambulatory care centers, nursing homes and other locations, making it convenient for both patients and physicians .
the patient must remain motionless for the length of the study, which is typically just a few minutes. the entire procedure, which includes set - up, the scan itself, checking the pictures, and removing the iv if needed, takes 15 to 45 minutes depending on what part of the body is being scanned .
high anatomical area contrast, as in the chest, is a challenge especially with film radiography. one of the advantages of digital radiography is the ability to overcome some of the problems of high area contrast through a combination of receptors with a wide exposure dynamic range, digital image processing, and digital image windowing .
as moira was having a conversation with levene, charles freezes the surrounding area and tells her to come down to the parking lot telepathically. the man in black then brings them to division x .
this is in the main x - ray department. it is a special type of cross sectional imaging (simulating slices through the body) which may be used for any part of the body .
there are six mobile x - ray units which are situated on critical care, outside the lifts near ward 3, outside the am block lift, on ward 36 / 37, near ward 12 and one kept in the radiology department for use by a & e. 24 hour theatre cover is provided for cases requiring x - ray support (covering up to 3 at any one time) .
moira is the only non - mutant in the films to serve as a member of the x - men, as well as one of the few lead females that aren’t mutants, including vanessa carlysle .
i remember watching x - men 3 and seeing charles xavier get disintegrated by phoenix, however the post - credits scene and his appearance in later movies indicate that he actually survived. how is that possible ?
firstly, the post - credits scene from x - men 3 hints at his survival. if for any reason you can' t view the video, this is what happens (from the wiki) :
in radiography, especially mammography, the objective is to select an x - ray beam spectrum that provides the optimum balance between contrast and dose. both of these factors depend on photon energy as illustrated below.
