Difference between Nuclear medicine and X-ray

Nuclear medicine vs. X-ray

Nuclear medicine is a medical specialty involving the application of radioactive substances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. X-rays make up X-radiation, a form of electromagnetic radiation.

Similarities between Nuclear medicine and X-ray

Nuclear medicine and X-ray have 19 things in common (in Unionpedia): Atomic nucleus, Background radiation, California, Effective dose (radiation), Electronvolt, Gallium, Gamma ray, Gray (unit), Indium, Marie Curie, Nature (journal), Proton, Rad (unit), Radioactive decay, Radiographer, Radiology, Roentgen equivalent man, Sievert, Wilhelm Röntgen.

Atomic nucleus

The atomic nucleus is the small, dense region consisting of protons and neutrons at the center of an atom, discovered in 1911 by Ernest Rutherford based on the 1909 Geiger–Marsden gold foil experiment.

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy (in terms of mass in its rest frame) by emitting radiation, such as an alpha particle, beta particle with neutrino or only a neutrino in the case of electron capture, gamma ray, or electron in the case of internal conversion.

Radiographer

Radiographers, also known as radiologic technologists, diagnostic radiographers and medical radiation technologists are healthcare professionals who specialise in the imaging of human anatomy for the diagnosis and treatment of pathology.

Roentgen equivalent man

The roentgen equivalent man (or rem) is an older, CGS unit of equivalent dose, effective dose, and committed dose which are measures of the health effect of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body.

Sievert

The sievert (symbol: SvNot be confused with the sverdrup or the svedberg, two non-SI units that sometimes use the same symbol.) is a derived unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI) and is a measure of the health effect of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body.

Wilhelm Röntgen

Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (27 March 1845 – 10 February 1923) was a German mechanical engineer and physicist, who, on 8 November 1895, produced and detected electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range known as X-rays or Röntgen rays, an achievement that earned him the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.
