Are xrays also gamma rays?

X-rays and gamma rays are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, but they have different origins and energy levels. X-rays are produced by the deceleration of high-energy electrons, while gamma rays are emitted from the nucleus of an atom during radioactive decay. Both types of radiation can penetrate materials, but gamma rays have higher energy and can be more penetrating than x-rays.


How are becquerel rays different to Xrays?

Becquerel rays are emitted by radioactive materials and are a form of ionizing radiation, while X-rays are electromagnetic radiation produced artificially by machines. Becquerel rays originate from the decay of unstable atomic nuclei, while X-rays are created when high-energy electrons collide with a target material. Both types of radiation can penetrate solids, but X-rays have higher energy and can be more controlled in terms of intensity and direction.

What is a Spiral CT Screening?

A spiral CT is a new technology, it refers to the way the xrays are emitted. The tube that produces the xrays is paralell with a receiver on the opposite side of the opening in the CT machine. To take the image, the tube and receiver are circling as it is doing this the bed is moving into the opening. This combination creates a spiral movement around your body. This new technology allows for a quicker scan and reduced radiation dose while not sacrificing the image quality.
