The x-ray beams are tightly focused so only the area being x-ray'd gets the beam of radiation. FYI, I worked in health physics and radiation protection for many years. It would have to be some ancient equipment to be at risk of any general unfocused radiation exposure. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says it gets tiresome waiting 5 minutes for the X-Ray to develop. Does that qualify? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpbago Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 My dentist uses a pencil camera that projects to a pc screen to show me what he is referring to. He also projects the xrays to the pc screen to show me what he sees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salesman died of cancer....as did that Currie broad. When I looked down Buster was looking a bit green and that mutt Tie was bleeding at the gums. X-rays are completely save if you're the one taking them from behind the barrier. Government told me it was fine when I worked on the HI-Power radar. Just had to go up in the antenna each week and sweep out the dead birds. Police have gone sterile from holding their speed guns in their laps between shots. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
