Watch now -- History of Radiography

Radiography is a interesting field when you are working with it.  For everything, i believe we should know about the history. Otherwise we couldn't build the strong future. I could find some interesting video about 'History of The Radiography' from the You tube. Watch this and learn something about history of the 'Radiography'...

  

Chest Radiography

The chest x-ray is the most commonly performed diagnostic x-ray examination. A chest x-ray makes images of the heart, lungs, airways, blood vessels and the bones of the spine and chest.
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.

Common uses of the procedure


The chest x-ray is performed to evaluate the lungs, heart and chest wall.


A chest x-ray is typically the first imaging test used to help diagnose symptoms such as:
• shortness of breath.
• a bad or persistent cough.
• chest pain or injury.
• fever.

Physicians use the examination to help diagnose or monitor treatment for conditions such as:
• pneumonia.
• heart failure and other heart problems.
• emphysema.
