How is X-ray work the safest?

With the development of science and technology, the value of X-ray has been excavated by more and more researchers. However, although X-rays bring us convenience, they are accompanied by some possible risk factors. It is well known that in the application of X-ray screening technology, it has certain radiation to human body. So, what kind of X-ray is the safest? Now we have a simple analysis of this, hoping to help you better understand the X-ray screening technology.

The discussion points are as follows:

✉ What is X-ray

✉ Why is X-ray not safe?

✉ How to make X rays the safest

✉ Conclusion

What is X-ray?

X-ray is a kind of electromagnetic radiation with wavelength between ultraviolet and gamma rays. It is produced by electron transitions in atoms between two levels. Its wavelength is very short, ranging from 0.01 to 100 A. It was discovered by W. K. Rontgen, a German physicist, in 1895, so it is also known as the Rontgen ray.

X-ray has high penetration ability and can penetrate many materials which are not transparent to visible light, such as ink paper, wood and so on. This invisible light can cause visible fluorescence of many solid materials, making photographic negatives sensitive and comparable to air ionization. X-ray was originally used in medical imaging diagnosis and X-ray crystallography. X-ray is also a harmful radiation to human body, such as free radiation.

Why is X-ray not safe?

It has been proved by human body that the application of X-ray screening can bring great benefits to human beings, such as radio diagnosis, radiotherapy and so on, but in the application, if we do not pay attention to protection or improper use. It may also lead to certain hazards, such as personal injuries or an increase in cancer incidence in the population.

X-ray screening damage is a pathological reaction caused by a certain amount of ionizing radiation acting on the body. Acute radiation damage is caused by a large dose of radiation in one or very short time. It mainly occurs in accidental radiation. In the case of chronic low-dose continuous irradiation, attention should be paid to chronic radiation damage, mainly because X-ray professionals do not pay attention to protection during the working day and receive the allowable dose for a long time. Ionizing radiation can not only cause acute and chronic radiation damage in the whole body, but also cause local skin damage.

How to make X rays the safest

So how can X-ray screening best protect against these potential threats?

(1) Keep away from X-ray-related equipment as far as possible without the need for relevant inspection, so as to radically reduce the damage caused by X-ray.

(2) Instruments and equipment for X-ray screening must be in good condition. Each instrument and equipment shall be verified and qualified within the validity period. Instruments and equipment that have been proved to be unqualified or beyond the validity period or damaged shall not be put into use. This can not only prevent casualties caused by equipment damage, but also control the quality of testing.

(3) The X-ray screening environment should be relatively independent as far as possible, and the surrounding things should not be affected by it.

Conclusion

Only when we use it in the right way can we make things work best. With the wide use of X-ray screening, more and more people understand and touch X-ray. Only in a relatively safe way can X-ray become one of the most useful rays for the development of social economy and science and technology.
