This is an xray of my sister's mouth against trees and sky and such. If that's not significant i don't know what is.
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.
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.
From Woman's Personal Hygiene, by Leona W. Chalmers, published 1946. Leona is preoccupied with cleanliness of woman's bodies. "Infection in these parts may eventually affect the entire reproductive system, and undermine a woman's health. The source of a woman's vitality lies largely in her endocrine glands...the principal of which are probably the ovaries. These small organs may easily be infected by way of the vagina. Doctor Bubis, you will note, calls the vagina a POTENTIALLY INFECTED CAVITY."
These x-rays show how well the douching liquid spreads in the vagina.
Google revealed that Leona patented the menstrual cup (shown in this book) in 1937, though they didn't catch on until 60 years later.
I was extremely curious as to what happens to the foots bones when I dance in pointe shoes. These are my feet.
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.
