Question of the Day

Under NO conditions should hands be in the x-ray beam, whether or not you have on lead gloves.

25% of a direct beam can still penetrate lead gloves, so never allow any part of the body to be in the primary beam even when properly protected.

An animal who is moving too much may need tranquilization to allow the radiograph to be taken.

Collimation limits primary radiation and decreases scatter but does not prevent it completely.
