In my 40 years in the profession I have never heard of a general xray causing a burn. There is a famous case where a CT machine made a burn stripe around someones skull when the gantry stopped moving. The first xray even taken caused a burn on Roentgen's wife's hand but that was long before metal filters removed the low energy parts of the beam.
@@thevoiceharmonicGoogle Cedars hospital LA CT radiation mistake. They had a new CT scanner a few years ago, at what is supposed to be one of the best hospitals in the world, they gave an absurdly high dose to patients during brain CT scans, some patients had their hair fall and some had burns! There was compensation pay outs.
Yeah basically its like all that background radiation at once in a localised area so far more damaging as it can damage dna and cells. Hope that helps, usually takes years though for the cancer to show up.
To REDUCE the amount of non-natural radiation...... you know if a Karen found out she got .001 extra radiation, she would need to talk to a manager and our managers dont want to deal with her
Look at the imaging behind him which appears that he must have made: the setting is Too High; there's too much "whiteness" in the image for it to be clear. That's because he used an inappropriately high power setting. Although he's standing up for people who have gotten bad chest X-Rays, it's certainly different from when a 29-year old is drugged with opiates at the clinic, told to forget everything he knows about medicine, and then given an X-Ray on a similar setting (too high) on his testicles for no reason. There are MUCH worse things that happen in hospitals than inappropriate chest X-Rays. In America, they're trying to bring oversight into these practices by having illogical healthcare legislation. It seems like the only way. If someone is supposed to be able to practice medicine, he should also be expected to be able to practice medicine with a few intentionally-placed obstacles. That's it.
No discussion of dose/time dependence and their implications on cellular health, DNA damage and so forth. Exposure to ionising radiation from normal every day activities bears no similitude to receiving a concentrated, comparatively high dose over a fraction of a second. A bit like saying most people eat 3 meals a day. Try consuming the three meals rapidly and in one sitting and see how that works out.

I got several x-rays yesterday. Today I feel absolutely miserable; my whole core is sore and I'm feeling nauseous. Harmful? I don't know but I do think there are side effects.
I had one 4 months ago, and since then occipital back of neck pain / tightness radiating to scalp, nausea feeling, and vertigo and dizziness too! never had these symptoms before! as soon as came out of dental office and OPG x-ray started feeling this way! also feeling very tired! which is not like me as I work out in gym every day!! -- somethings not right?
Comparing apples and oranges. the amount of background radiation is receive during a very long time and uniformely over your body at very low dose during a year wich let ur body time to repair itself. Its not the same as receiving an x-ray dose that last second and highly localised in your body at a much higher dose in time. i can use the comparison of energy. what would cause more damage, the energy of a bomb released over a wide area and release uniformlaly during a year or that energy released in seconds and highly localise. an x-ray dose from 1 xray test is million or billion time more than what you receive naturaly from background radiation.
That's all good buddy. I would rather take the readily available facts at hand and from a senior lecturer and radiographer over your proposed hypothesis of what may or may not happen. One X-Ray does not give you a "billion or million time more dose" than background radiation. What a ridiculous statement.
@@L.S1992there are plenty of government studies that show x ray radiation is far more damaging because it damages cells and dna, background radiation is far less at any instance.

Please answer me this. Why are when X ray operator always hiding when taking X ray image of someone, If X rays are so dangerous, then they should be banned, all the patients that took X ray images recently Never complained of any problems, then why are you operators always hiding when talking of X ray images of someone else?
got taught this at physics class on college, it is because the operator does lots of x-rays every day. patients only take 1-2/year. it would be harmful to take a day worth of radiation every hour of the day for a year. idk why there are lead covers tho, i did 3 x-rays in the past 30 days and got lead cover only one time. the x-rays were needed to diagnose my back pain and to fix a broken ankle.
