This doesn't show the break, but the human foot is just so very cool. Makes me want to knit a sock.
edited to add: Wait. This could very well show the break. I'm not authorized to read xrays, so I don't know if it does or doesn't.
Since 2012 I've been diagnosed with cancer. This is a photo from today when I went to a routine x ray.
Yep another x ray image - but they're so cool! and I have another 2 I can use as well!
Not a very Spring welcoming image, but I'm so happy Spring is here! Also my ribs are feeling almost normal a lot of the time, so long as I don't move too much.
International Space Station experiment captured by ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano during his Beyond mission on the International Space Station. Luca captioned this image: Performed a lot of maintenance this past days: here, I’m working on a miniature x-ray imaging machine.

have you ever said "if i have one more bite, i'm going to pop"?
well, this is an xray of my stomache. what you see here is, there is a hernia in my diaphram(spelling?), and my stomach is poking through the hole (see where it's pinched). that part of my stomach is up where my lung is suppoed to be.
it's not painful,i'm ok, but i will eventually need surgery to fix it.
see, i ate one more bite and popped.
Camera and film testing. I rated the xray film at 200iso for these and they came out much better exposed.
This was a little tricky. Cabbage leaves are not renowned for their opacity to hard X-Rays so I had to do quite a lot of image enhancement to get a decent view. But I like the result, as it shows some of the delicate structure of the leaf and yet looks like the silhouette of a tree at first glance.
My X-Ray machine started life as a mailroom scanner in a bank. It's about the size and shape of a filing cabinet. When I got it the resolution was pretty poor - it used a standard 525-line video camera to make the images. So I tinkered with it (making sure I didn't affect anything that was involved with safety of course). I replaced the original high brightness, low definition phosphor with a Kodak Lanex Fine screen (less sensitive but much higher resolution), then replaced the video imaging system. First, I used a Nikon D3100 I had floating around, remote controlled via DigiCamControl. More recently, I've upgraded to a Nikon D700 that became spare. DigiCamControl is what makes it possible for me to remote-control the camera safely and get images directly into the computer via USB.
Please, please, please don't think that you can just get an X-Ray machine off eBay or wherever and safely start making images like this. Without proper shielding and other precautions, ionizing radiation such as X-Rays can be seriously hazardous to your health.
