Do X-rays, and CT scans harm the body..!?
In today's modern medical practice, the use of imaging techniques to diagnose various diseases affecting the body has become important. X-rays, CT scans, and other imaging procedures greatly assist doctors in accurately diagnosing and treating a patient's problem. In today's modern medical practice, the use of imaging techniques to diagnose various diseases affecting the body has become important. X-rays, CT scans, and other imaging procedures greatly assist doctors in accurately diagnosing and treating a patient's problem. However, as useful as imaging techniques such as X-rays are, they also come with radiation risks, says Newberg Diagnostics' chief of radiology, Dr. Bhavaran raj Lingam.
Satyaki Banerjee, Chief Executive Officer, Trivitron Healthcare, said on radiation safety, it is imperative to follow safety measures in medical imaging to avoid the risk of radiation. In this, radiation protective gloves play an important role. Made of lead or lead-free composite materials, these gloves protect healthcare workers' hands from high-energy radiation such as X-rays. These gloves contain high atomic number materials that effectively absorb radiation and prevent it from reaching the skin. He said a study found that properly designed radiation protective gloves can reduce radiation exposure to the hands by 95%, helping to prevent long-term damage.
As imaging technology becomes more widely used in the medical world, the risk of radiation exposure to healthcare workers is also increasing. If safety measures are not taken in time, it can have serious consequences. Radiation protection gloves not only protect the skin from direct damage but also protect against long-term problems such as radiation dermatitis and nail discoloration.
