CT scanningsometimes called CAT scanningis a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.CT imaging combines special x-ray equipment with sophisticated organs, bone, soft tissue and blood vessels provide greater clarity and reveal more details than regular x-ray exams.Using specialized equipment and expertise to create and interpret CT scans of the body
Like a laptop computer MP3 players, cell phones and other electronics are not affected by X-rays unless otherwise stated by the hardware manufacturer.
Unlike traditional film that can be damaged by X-rays the flash cards used to store the pictures created by your digital camera are not sensitive to light and will not be damaged when going through an X-ray.
Hard disk drives are sensitive to magnetic charges, taking a hard disk drive or computer with a hard disk drive through an X-ray will not damage the drive.
Floppy diskettes are sensitive to magnetic charges, taking them or a computer with them through an X-ray will not damage the drive.
Computers, Laptops, and PDAs and the components within them are not sensitive to X-rays and will not be damaged when sent through an X-ray machine.
at an airport. X-ray machines emit an electromagnetic energy, which is not magnetic and does not damage or destroy electrical equipment or magnetic sensitive data. Below is additional information about eachMany users who travel or plan on traveling may be concerned about their laptop computers or the media holding their important data getting damaged or erased when putting them through an X-ray machine
that relatively low quantities of low energy x-rays are produced and modern monitors are so well shielded, that there is no concern of being irradiated over time. Though it is possible for a damaged monitor to emit x-ray radiation, it is unlikely that harmful amounts will be released, and most x-rays would be directed towards the back or sides of the monitor. Any damage to the front of the CRT severe enough

structural damage in a disk and show if a disk has begun to rupture or has tears in its outer ring....A discogram is an enhanced X-ray examination of the intervertebral discs. Dye is injected into the center of the injured discs. The dye makes the disc clearly visible on X-ray film and on a fluoroscope special X-ray TV screen.This test is used to determine which disc has structural damage and whether it is causing
also form at the insertion site, which may result in partial blockage of the limb. The dye may cause direct kidney damage, or indirect damage through excessive water loss. As with any X-ray procedureAn angiogram is an X-ray test that uses a special dye and camera fluoroscopy to take pictures of the blood flow in an artery such as the aorta or a vein such as the vena cava. An angiogram can
in the lungs but can occur in other parts of the body as well. They typically cause no signs or symptoms and are found incidentally on a chest X-ray done for some other reason. Although granulomas are noncancerous benign, they may resemble cancer on an X-ray. The most common cause of granuloma is histoplasmosis, a fungal infection that primarily affects the lungs. Most people with pulmonary histoplasmosis
