What are some of the many problems that emerged with the early use of the X-ray?

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

Problems of the early use of the X-ray include: - taking an X-ray of a hand using the machine took about 90 minutes - it was insufficient and caused open wounds to get further infected - the health risks associated with X-rays weren’t fully understood; X-ray exposure was harmful as the amount of radiation was about 1,500 times the amount released today, and this exposure could cause hair loss and burns for patients
