The Discovery and Evolution of X-ray Technology. X-rays, a form of electromagnetic radiation, hold a pivotal place in the realms of science and medicine. They were discovered in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, a German physicist, who stumbled upon them while experimenting with cathode rays. This serendipitous discovery earned him the first ...
Jul 31, 2023 · The production of X-ray images is a complex process that uses electromagnetic radiation. X-rays are high-frequency energy waves that penetrate through the body or the target organ and are either absorbed, reflected off, or traversed through the body. The X-ray tube, which produces the X-ray, is composed of a cathode and an anode. The cathode is a tungsten filament, which is heated during the ...

Jul 31, 2023 · X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometers. In the setting of diagnostic radiology, X-rays have long enjoyed use in the imaging of body tissues and aid in the diagnosis of disease. Simply understood, the generation of X-rays occurs when electrons are accelerated under a potential difference and turned into electromagnetic radiation.[1] An ...

Radiology research is a difficult endeavor, and success is determined by many factors along the entire process from research planning to article writing. Two of the most important characteristics of successful clinical research are a good research question and an appropriate study population. If these do not exist from the start, the subsequent research activity is unlikely to conclude with ...
Aug 3, 2018 · In this chapter, the physical principles of X-rays are introduced. We start with a general definition of X-rays compared to other well known rays, e. g., the visible light. In Sec. 7.2, we will learn how X-rays can be generated and how they can be characterized with respect to their energy. The most relevant concept to understand how X-ray imaging works is the behavior of X-rays when they ...
