Posted by nootz 4/27/2007 1:14 AM | remove   X-ray in the old days...these days they're much, much bigger Posted by Tombow 7/29/2007 4:51 PM | remove   No. Smaller. This is just the source. Posted by Blackbird 8/1/2007 5:52 PM | remove   They lost one of these in Brazil. Speaking of which, if that lead tube contains radioactive material it should have been removed. This is a health and safety hazard. Posted by Tombow 8/1/2007 7:04 PM | remove   No, Blackbird. That one in the Guayana (sp?) accident was an Radiation Therapy Source containing a decaying Radium isotope. This here is just a conventional X-Ray source (not more than a cathode tube similar to the ones found in TVs and CRT monitors) Posted by Blackbird 8/2/2007 11:50 PM | remove   The one I was talking about took place in Brazil, it contained celcium cloride. However you are right, it was for radiotherapy. Posted by Tombow 8/3/2007 9:03 PM | remove   Blackbird, you are actually talking about that: http://en.wikipedi...%C3%A2nia_accident It contained Cesium Chloride (at that time an isotope common in certain kinds of radiotherapy). Posted by Blackbird 8/4/2007 12:19 AM | remove   That's the sorce I used. Posted by Tombow 8/4/2007 10:55 AM | remove   On a side note: there is no diagnostic procedure in radiology which uses an isotope as a radiation source. And they're becoming almost extinct in modern radiation therapy. If you'd like to add a comment, please login or register. All content and images copyright © 2002-2024 UER.CA and respective creators.
