Experts say new methods reduce radiation exposure, and X-rays should be taken when necessary but not as a matter of routine.

During mammography, some X-rays scatter away from the primary beam in the breast and spread outward in different directions. Although this scatter radiation is much weaker than the primary beam ...

In many cases, device replacement may be necessary. [5, 9] When discussing indirect effects of radiation on device function, care must be taken to distinguish between scatter radiation and EMI.

PARIS, France—A new radiation protection system that replaces the traditional cath lab table mattress with a radiolucent carbon fiber platform and memory foam shows promise for protecting all ...

In an effort to find an answer to the problem of identifying smuggled special nuclear material, researchers say a neutron scatter camera they are developing may be able to detect radiation from ...

A NASA NIAC study is developing the technology to get within 0.5 solar radii of the sun. The goal is to scatter 99.9% of the solar radiation. A solar radii is 700,000 kilometers. They want to get to 0 ...

Whenever coherent radiation impinges on a scattering object, a speckled intensity pattern is produced. In the far field the speckle size and shape do not mirror any properties of the object. Here ...

The high energy radiation that carry the orbit angular momentum has become an extremely important tool to investigate the angular momentum related physics in microworld. But the generation and ...
