Xray diagnostics mutagenic and so genocide effect on genome

In summary, Xray diagnostics is a medical imaging technique that uses Xray beams to produce images of the inside of the body. Xrays are a type of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through soft tissues but are absorbed by denser materials such as bones. They have the ability to cause mutations in DNA, potentially leading to the development of cancer or other genetic disorders. While Xray diagnostics do not have the ability to cause genocide effects on the genome, exposure to high levels of radiation can have negative impacts on the overall health of a population. To protect against these negative effects, scientists and medical professionals take precautions such as using the lowest possible dose of radiation and limiting the number of Xray procedures a person undergoes. There are alternative diagnostic techniques that

They worry only about X-rays risks during pregnancy but not in pre-gravid wonen on pre-zygote oöcytes:

«Women should always inform their physician and the CT technologist if there is any possibility that they may be pregnant»

But if a woman wants babies but is not just pregnant, she can take X-rays without any risk for future offspring?

Genocide effect of Medical X-rays on genome.
This is a thinking quality of mine how low doses of diagnostics X-rays probably inflict scattered deletions in subtelomeric regions of human chromosomes in pre-zygocyte oöcytes: CAT train of X-ray waves, for frequency and energy, jump electrons of the Carbon to a quantum leap over a major potential orbital, and then go back once the excitement has been exhausted; the electron disappears in its original orbital and reappears in the upper one. Gravity has nothing to do with it: the electron orbit swaying around the nucleus according to forces of electric charge.
X-rays also useless but required by the unprepared doctor, obsessed by diagnostic doubts or for medicalizing future people.
The DNA Carbon atoms must handle four different bonds and, disturbing the electronic orbits, one atom can go detached and the result is a deletion: a hole in the genetic heritage of your future children. Electron dances according to a wavy hexagonal flower trajectory, and performs quantum jumps on more external orbits caused by the X-ray wave.
Conversely, in Nature, the "old" electron loses energy and jumps* to a more internal orbital with lower potential.
Excited by X-rays directed on pre-zygote oöcytes, the electron disappears and appears on a higher orbit by having acquired the energy of the radiographer or of the tomograph on the internal genitalia.
Atomic elementare heavier than iron are created by stars bigger than the Sun where also melt helium and so they form atoms heavier than iron which then decay. And thus emitting, as a result of the electronic cascade towards the inside of the nucleus, an electron together with a neutrin. The overall excess of electrons with respect to the positrons in matter creates both the magnetic field and emits gravitons; this is why a flow of positrons in the opposite direction towards gravity (Vimāna) cancels the gravitational field.

* Natural Atomic decay: quantum leap in lower orbital ("natural decay" evident in radioactive elements), intuitively because the atomic nucleus "by aging" loses a negative microcharge and the electron approaches to the nucleus.
The atom ages for progressive depletion of the residual energy from the Big Bang. In an atom, the distance between the electron and the protoneutronic nucleus represents an excess of negative charges with respect to the positive in matter.

No, there is always a risk. However, before becoming pregnant, an egg cell is very, very small and is only exposed to the small amount of radiation that would pass through itself. An embryo or fetus is much, much larger and would absorb a much larger amount of radiation during a time when any damage to the DNA in any of its cells can be catastrophic. Still, women should always be informed about the dangers that x-rays pose so that they may make an informed decision.

The rest of your post makes little sense and gets more and more strange the further down I read.

DNA has repair mechanisms. It evolved to do it's job on a planet with background radiation. Original post appears unaware of that. When DNA has a delete it cannot fix, the cell normally dies - apoptosis - sort of like cell suicide. Most mutations caused by "successful" deletes (limiting just to that) are fatal to offspring - if the change occurred in the cells that later become sperm or egg, the fetus never develops, or you get a spontaneous abortion. In adults a whole lot of other DNA-bound molecules like histones and methyl groups have to be in place before the zapped DNA can have a serious effect. Many chemicals in our environment work the same way on DNA. The process is generally called teratogenesis. Example: thalidomide is a known teratogen.

1. What are Xray diagnostics and how do they work?

Xray diagnostics, also known as radiography, is a medical imaging technique that uses Xray beams to produce images of the inside of the body. Xrays are a type of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through soft tissues but are absorbed by denser materials such as bones. This allows for the visualization of bones, organs, and other structures within the body.

2. What is the mutagenic effect of Xray diagnostics?

Xrays have the ability to cause changes in the DNA of cells, known as mutations. This is due to their high energy and ability to break chemical bonds in DNA molecules. These mutations can potentially lead to the development of cancer or other genetic disorders.

3. Can Xray diagnostics cause genocide effects on the genome?

The term "genocide" typically refers to the intentional extermination of a specific group of people. Xray diagnostics do not have the ability to target specific groups based on their genetic makeup. However, exposure to high levels of Xray radiation can have a negative impact on the overall health of a population, potentially leading to a decrease in the gene pool and genetic diversity.

4. How do scientists protect against the negative effects of Xray diagnostics?

Scientists and medical professionals take precautions to minimize the risk of negative effects from Xray diagnostics. This includes using the lowest possible dose of radiation, shielding sensitive areas of the body, and limiting the number of Xray procedures a person undergoes. Additionally, strict regulations and safety measures are in place to ensure the safe use of Xray technology.

5. Are there alternative diagnostic techniques that do not have a mutagenic effect?

Yes, there are alternative imaging techniques such as ultrasound, MRI, and CT scans that do not use ionizing radiation and therefore do not have a mutagenic effect on the body. However, Xray diagnostics are still widely used due to their effectiveness and relatively low cost compared to other imaging methods.
