For X-RAY we have terms and definitions in 14 topics. The topics are Alternative Medicine, Astronomy, Cancer, Dental Health, Energy, Explosives, Fitness, Gynecological, Gynecology, Health, Lymphoma, Medical, Prostate Cancer and Vietnam War.

X-RAY (Alternative Medicine)

Electromagnetic energy used to produce images of bones, organs, and internal tissues.

X-RAY (Astronomy)

A class of high energy photon, X-rays have wavelengths of 0.012 to 12 nanometers. Not only are X-rays used for medical imaging (when you break your arm an X-ray machine is used to take a picture of the broken bone), but since black holes, quasars, and other stellar objects emit X-rays, X-Ray Astronomy is actively researched.

X-RAY (Cancer)

High-energy electromagnetic radiation used to diagnose and treat disease. Diagnostic test using high energy to visualize internal body organs. See Radiation therapy.

X-RAY (Dental Health)

A diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.

X-RAY (Energy)

A type of electromagnetic radiation having low energy levels.

X-RAY (Explosives)

Electromagnetic radiation of very short wavelength, lying within the wavelength interval of 0.0 to 100 angstroms (between gamma rays and ultra-violate radiation). Also called "X-radiation", "Roentgen ray." (X-rays penetrate various thicknesses of all solids and they act upon photographic plates in the same manner as light. Secondary X-rays are produced whenever X-rays are absorbed by a substance; in the case of absorption by a gas, this results in ionization.)

X-RAY (Fitness)

Internal view of the body, showing high density structures such as bones and teeth, using medical equipment.

X-RAY (Gynecological)

Electromagnetic energy used to produce images of bones and internal organs onto film.

X-RAY (Gynecology)

Electromagnetic energy used to produce images of bones and internal organs onto film.

X-RAY (Health)

A diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.

X-RAY (Lymphoma)

High-energy radiation used in low doses to diagnose diseases and in high doses to treat cancer.

X-RAY (Medical)

See Radiography

X-RAY (Prostate Cancer)

A type of high energy radiation that can be used at low levels to make images of the internal structures of the body and at high levels for radiation therapy
