Why are these realtime high resolution colorful super X-Rays from the airport not used for medical X-Raying?
In: Technology
Xray tech here. Airport scanners are very weak xray beams that do not penetrate enough to see anything in great detail. Medical xrays use a stronger beam to produce higher resolution images. Basically we shoot xrays at you and whatever is not absorbed by your body is what you see on the image. The strength of the xray beam depends on the part of your body we’re looking at. My job is to decide how strong to make the beam and for how many milliseconds to expose you.
