solutions
X-ray - answer they are a form
electromagnetic radiation and have a dual
nature, both waves and particles; cannot be
focused by a lens
, who discovered the "x"? - answer wilhelm
conrad roentgen in 1895 in germany
how was the discovery made? - answer he
was investigating the conduction of electrons
through a partially evacuated glass tube;
when light was emitted through this tube
onto a plate coated with fluorescent material,
radiant energy was produced
radiation therapy - answer treatment of
malignant diseases using radiation
nuclear medicine - answer radioactive
material used, seen with gamma rays
angiography - answer blood vessels (injecting
contrast material)
retrograde arteriography procedures -
answer done under fluoroscopic guidance by
insertion of a guide wire into the femoral
artery followed by a catheter that moves
