My daughter's X-RAY, shows she's been diagnosed with Femoral Anteversion.
Keeping our options open while doing research, I will make the best possible choice for her, I still have a little bit of time to think it over with my wife.
Went to see the good people of Emory's sports medicine today to get my
knee checked out.
- Possible meniscus tear -- getting an MRI next week.
- Knee posteolateral corner sprain (sprained back of knee) -- prescribed two weeks of physical therapy.
Not the most original concept, but it was my first try at doing an, "out of the box" type photo. I think it came out pretty good, but I'd love to hear some feedback, good or bad!
No photoshop work here, that is the real computer background...
The doctor says I am fully recovered - I get stitches taken out next week, and do physical therapy next. White dots are metal anchors that stay in for life.
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.
The proximal phalanx moves towards the small toes, off the head of the metatarsal in a bunion seen on X-ray.
Image details : Mullard OC44 PNP Germanium transistor, glass envelope.
90kV polychromatic xrays, filtered with 1.5mm Al and 0.2 mm Cu.
CsI scintillator, 6 sec exposure.
My X-ray stage consisted of a box of elastic bands with the little phosphor screen leaning against it.
I affixed a little (opaque black plastic) electronic component to the phosphor screen with some masking tape, and took a picture.
It's insides where quite visible!
My first "proper" X-ray. =D
