About this document

X-Ray Examination Procedures and Safety by JJRG Printing is a document available to read on EtoBox.

X-rays use radiation to create images of internal structures and organs. The radiation dose is adjusted based on the exam and needed image detail, using the minimum dose required. X-rays are used to diagnose fractures, dislocations, bone and joint conditions, and chest issues. During an exam, a radiographer positions the patient and operates the x-ray machine, while shielding other body parts. Exams are quick but additional views may be needed. The radiation dose is considered very small and safe.
