Abstract

Bucky and X-rays are used in the treatment of nailbed diseases. Transmission through normal and diseased nails has been measured. Nails of normal thickness transmit about 30% of Bucky rays and about 85% of X-rays. Bucky rays cannot be used when the diseased nails are thickened, whereas 60% of X-rays are transmitted.
