Exploring X-ray technology

 X-RAY
• X-rays use invisible electromagnetic energy
beams to produce images of internal tissues,
bones, and organs on film or digital media.
• X-rays are also produced using an X-ray tube.
They are emitted when fast moving electrons
hit a metal target.
• It also have shorter wavelength but carries
higher energy than Ultraviolet Light.

 X-RAY
In 1895, Wilhelm Conrad
Roentgen is credited with first
describing X-rays. Just weeks
after he discovered that they
could help visualize bones, X-
rays were being used in a
medical setting.
 X-RAY
The first person to
receive an X-ray for
medical purposes was
young Eddie McCarthy
of Hanover, who fell
while skating on the
Connecticut River in
1896 and fractured his
left wrist.
 USES OF X-RAY
1.Check Symptoms in the Body
2. Diagnosing Injuries
3. Dental Check
 • X-rays can cause mutations in
our DNA and, therefore, might
lead to cancer later in life.
RISKS OF
X-RAYS • Exposure to high radiation levels
can have a range of effects, such
as vomiting, bleeding, fainting,
hair loss, and the loss of skin and
hair.
