Shoe-fitting fluoroscopes, also sold under the names X-ray Shoe Fitter, Pedoscope and Foot-o-scope, were X-ray fluoroscope machines installed in shoe stores from the 1920s until about the 1970s in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Germany and Switzerland. [1] In the UK, they were known as Pedoscopes, after the ...
The X-ray housing is turned by 90° for a chest radiograph. An X-ray machine is a device that uses X-rays for a variety of applications including medicine, X-ray fluorescence, electronic assembly inspection, and measurement of material thickness in manufacturing operations. In medical applications, X-ray machines are used by radiographers to ...
Fluoroscopy ( / flʊəˈrɒskəpi /) [ 1], informally referred to as " fluoro ", is an imaging technique that uses X-rays to obtain real-time moving images of the interior of an object. In its primary application of medical imaging, a fluoroscope ( / ˈflʊərəˌskoʊp /) [ 2][ 3] allows a surgeon to see the internal structure and function of ...
X-ray fluorescence. XRF scanning of the Rembrandt -painting Syndics of the Drapers' Guild. A handheld XRF analyzer gun. X-ray fluorescence ( XRF) is the emission of characteristic "secondary" (or fluorescent) X-rays from a material that has been excited by being bombarded with high-energy X-rays or gamma rays.
X-ray detector. Acquisition of projectional radiography, with an X-ray generator and an imaging detector. X-ray detectors are devices used to measure the flux, spatial distribution, spectrum, and/or other properties of X-rays . Detectors can be divided into two major categories: imaging detectors (such as photographic plates and X-ray film ...
From the early 1920s through to the 1950s, X-ray machines were developed to assist in the fitting of shoes [59] and were sold to commercial shoe stores. [ 60 ] [ 61 ] [ 62 ] Concerns regarding the impact of frequent or poorly controlled use were expressed in the 1950s, [ 63 ] [ 64 ] leading to the practice's eventual end that decade.
X-ray filter. An X-ray filter (or compensating filter) is a device placed in front of an X-ray source in order to reduce the intensity of particular wavelengths from its spectrum and selectively alter the distribution of X-ray wavelengths within a given beam before reaching the image receptor. [1] Adding a filtration device to certain x-ray ...
X-ray optics. X-ray optics is the branch of optics that manipulates X-rays instead of visible light. It deals with focusing and other ways of manipulating the X-ray beams for research techniques such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray crystallography, X-ray fluorescence, small-angle X-ray scattering, X-ray microscopy, X-ray phase-contrast imaging, and ...
