Examples
“Gastric emptying via emesis or lavage should be performed in patients who have ingested greater than 40-60 mg./kg. of elemental iron or an unknown amount. 1 Activated charcoal is not useful, unless there are co-ingestants, since it does not bind metals such as iron. 1 Iron tablets are radiopaque, therefore, an abdominal radiograph should be performed to determine if there is evidence of iron tablets in the stomach or small bowel.”
“However, fetal lung lesions that seem to disappear on prenatal ultrasound and are not seen on neonatal chest radiograph still require evaluation by chest CT scan, which will frequently detect a lesion.”

“The researchers measured bone mineral content and density by dual-energy radiograph absorptiometry DXA.”
“This difference in body tissue density is why bone (high body tissue density) appears white on a radiograph, as compared to fat (low body tissue density), which appears gray or air (no density), which appears black.”
“An x-ray or radiograph is similar to having a photograph taken in a portrait studio.”
“The radiologic technologist (RT) will escort you to a dressing room where you will be given an examination gown (if necessary) and instructed to remove specific articles of your clothing that may interfere with the radiograph.”
