is it true that you can see your own "meat" in an X-ray?

Yes, you can make out the silhouette of your penis and gonads on certain radiographic views, this is due to the difference in densities between the air and your genitalia.

Technically, William Roentgen, but others have, without proof, said that they have had before him. For more info, go to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray

yes, as long as the Osteopath is trained, licensed & certified.\nI broke my back in 3 places d/t an automobile accident. My chiropractor would not even touch me without x-rays to see what was going on inside.\nYou may want to consider this, too; taking some x-rays. Just a safety precaution.

it depends on what kind of radiation he is exposed to..well even sunlight is radiation and we all live ...X rays that are used for imaging are also radiation and no-one dies fron getting x rayed...so it is the type and amount that a person is exposed to..if the radiation can denature the proteins that make up our body and change the DNA that is responsible for all cell divisions then we may not live otherwise our very life is proof that we can survive radiation

are you a doctor? or a med student? did anyone see it? :D

That could very well be the abnormality. Did you tell the doctor you had a fractured rib before? If you didn't, he might be seeing that and thinking it's a new onset sort of thing. You can usually tell what healed bone looks like on an x-ray, though. \nThe "abnormality" may be significant, or it may not be. Unfortunately, the only way to find out is to wait for the results.\nHope this helps!

Actually, as an xray tech, they do one of your wrist and your hand.  You have 8 bones in your wrist. These are the carpal bones.  Most babies aren't born with them so they develop over time.  If they see your carpal bones are or aren't developed that can tell you how far ahead you are in growth/how far behind you are. They use those body parts and compare them to the normal for someone your exact age.  It's just a uniform part of the anatomy from an xray standpoint.  It will be of your left hand and/or wrist and is most likely called a Bone Age Study.  Probably the easiest xray u will ever have. all you do is sit there with your hand on the table :)

No.  When first discovered, the discoverer didn't know what to call it, so he used the term "x" whilst trying to determine a more appropriate designation.  He never did, and the term "x-ray" persists to this day.  His name, btw, was William Conrad Roentgen.  The device with which he discovered x-rays was the Crooke's Tube.\nThe first x-ray - also called a "radiograph" - of a human part was a radiograph of his own left hand.  Here's a challenge for you: was Professor Roentgen married at the time?

I do. I think it's all interesting. I used to watch Animal X all the time where they tried to find proof...granted they never found anything, but it was still cool to hear of the experiences people had and see pictures or video clips of what they saw, and try to decide for yourself.

By all means, see a doctor and get it x-rayed.

X-rays of the long bones will show the growth plates.  You can see growth plates in the femur, tibia, fibula, humerus, ulna and radius.  I have never done an x-ray to see if the plates are closed in order to determine further growth.  If we are wondering about bone age, we do an x-ray of the hands/wrists for that.

You can also see the development of the carpals bones.\nThey form at different ages that so can help to show a radiologist your age.\n\nIf very young children a knee xray or hip will be done as well as the left hand to determine bone age.

depens what you had the xray on but it usually means that they found something in the xray which shouldn't be there or isn't right.. its rather self explanitory really

yes \n\nbut life of this career is 15 years because of exposure to xrays indirectly , what will you do after that 15 years?

Exposure to X-rays may affect your body in multiple ways and don't even mention it when you are pregnant...

X-rays are useful because they let you see the inside without SURGERY. Too much can cause changes in your DNA, which could cause cancer.

its a picture of an organ or bones.  We call it also x-ray cause it use X-ray. on that source you have a couple of picture.
