Multigrade b/w paper exposed in analytical Xray box, object placed directly on the paper.
varying exposure of 25-50 kV tube voltage, from 1 to 4 minutes.
I have broken both of my ankles - twice. So I have the exact same metal plates and screws in both ankles. This is the x-ray of my right leg.
The main piece of equipment at the High-Resolution X-ray Computed Tomography Facility at the University of Texas at Austin (UTCT), where I got a custom tour a few weeks ago.
The control panel / cabinet of my post-WW-2-era Army x-ray machine.
Just a quick & dirty shot for the "Control Panel" pool.
Here you can see some of the x-ray cassette used as a fluorescent screen, and the radiation pattern from my machine.
This setup consists of a HD-S (high speed green) phosphor screen, and a 90kV, 15 milliamp real X-ray tube with a 1.5 amp 12 volt hot cathode.
I took the photo running the tube at 60kV and around 2 milliamps.
The exposure took 30 seconds, and the green phosphor shadow was post-processed to turn it into the more recognisable negative cyan X-ray transparency.
I use an old 20D camera because X-rays DO in fact damage CCD's as I found an increasing number of hot pixels on my new camera when I first started making X-ray images.
Our daughter swallowed a quarter so we spent many hours in emergency, getting an X-ray to ensure it had made the journey safely and was in no danger of getting lodged. She is safe :)
Getting the hang of Fujifilm HRU Xray film. Streaky negs due to terrible processing techniques :)

i broke my wrist (flying a kite no less) and i had to have pins put in (they are now removed) and this is what the really kewl xray looked like

The day before Christmas eve I took a slip on some ice outside our house and put my arms out to stop the fall - sadly my left arm also hit theice and skidded from under me and I woundup facedown in the snow unable to move with a very very sore shoulder. So off we went to Pinderfields A&E department. They said there was nothing wrong with the shoulder despite me being in *severe* pain at this point (the give away being the first lot of pain killers they gave me didn't work and I'd asked for a second lot!!) So they sent me on my way with a rudimentary sling held together with sticking plaster with instructions that if it got no better to come back. i did ask if they were sure they hadn't missed anything and I think the nurse was a little affronted by this...but I went on to explain it was extrememly sore but she said bruising could be just as sore and that's what I had - severe bruising. She also said that the secondary team would look over the xrays so if they *had* missed anything they would call me back. So we left A&E...traveled down to Wales for Christmas day - with still no ease up in the pain. Boxing Day went to Swindon - againno let up in the pain but as it was only a few days after and bruising takes a while to comeout I thought no more of it. the day after boxing day I was in so much pain that I made my way to the excellent Princess of Wales Hospital (where all three of my kids had been born and where I used to work) After a quick xray the Drcame back and said she wasn't suprised I was in pain - the ball joint at the top of my arm that goes into my socket has a fracture all the way across it! The Doctor pointed it out to me but to be honest I ain't no medical person - all I know is it hurts - a lot - but the fracture is the line that runs across the middle of the ball apparently) So one proper sling fitted to my arm correctly (a nice soft foam one that doesn't cut into my neck too!!) and some super strength pain killers later and I was sorted. Only problem was - with being in so much pain and beingslightly grumpy all I wanted to do was get home and into my own bed! So we cut the hol a bit short. When I took the xrays into Pinderfields as instructed they a) made me wait in A&E whilst they *checked* the xrays over for an hour, then dumped me back int he waiting room for another 30 mins whilst they made their minds up whether to send me to the fracture clinic or not for a follow up appointment - it was only when I got shirty that they got me an appointment - and guess what - not ONE SINGLE person apologised for missing the fracture. Not one. Hey ho - that the over stretched, under resourced NHS for ya I suppose! ;-)
Cracking Christmas Gromit! lol!
outlook not good for lil mud... i referred to it before and here is the xrays to show you what is going on.
in the front legs, muddy has dysplasia of the elbow. looking at the xray you can see additional spurs of bone all around the joint. in a normal dog this bones appear completely smooth. the back legs (next picture) have cartilidge disease. yes, all four are jacked.
the vet called in an expert to look at the case and the expert and the vet agreed that the case is beyond surgery. bummer. mud is only 2 and a half years old. he suggests all we can do is maintain it.
i have had her on glucosamine for the past three weeks and it seems to help. she doesn't seem down, nor is she unhappy. i have only seen her so sore a few times... she has had a hard time with the stairs twice and i had to carry both up and down them (perhaps it is time to move from the third floor). other than that she moves and runs as normal. she is a total animal.
in the short term she will be somewhat normal. i have to reduce the impact sports a lot, which means a drastic reduction in ball time. that is a huge bummer. it quite possibly has been my most facorite part of my every day for the past 2 and a half years. me, mud, the chuck it in the panhandle... albeit, i might move somewhere closer to water so she can swim eventually for daily exercise.
in the long term, this will limit the length of her life as the condition increase with age she will lose more motion. i will keep her slim as time goes on as weight has an adverse effect here as well. also, soon i look into regular shots of adequan (sp?), which will help a lot with any pain.
i will go and see another specialist soon. more diagnoses too follow.
no need to be sad, she is still that happy lil mud you know... life goes on... viva muddy!

If you require an Xray, Insight Medical Imaging offers walk-in services at Xray Alberta locations. To avoid possible wait times, we encourage you to visit our dedicated Xray Alberta imaging facilities in Edmonton: Callingwood, Calgary Trail, and Capilano. We also have extended hours at various clinics dedicated to Xray Alberta imaging if you are unable to take time off work or have rigid daily commitments. Xray uses ionizing radiation to create images of the skeletal system. Conventional Xray images are produced when radiation is passed through a body part and measured by a detector on the other side of the patient.
Took my "owie" to the ER at Dartmouth-Hitchcock in Keene NH right after it happened, and after reviewing this X-Ray, the ER Doc said, "it's not broken; call us back in a few days if it still hurts."
Modern medicine is an amazing thing. I have shown this xray to people from 8 to 80, dozens of people, and the only one who can't see the break is the ER Doc.
