X-rays are used in a variety of ways to make regular pictures, angiograms (study of blood vessels), or CT scans. Other forms of energy such as ultrasound magnetic waves, and isotopes are used to also make pictures.
This section of our WEB page has been created for FUN!!!!! There are a number of images displayed here of X-rays of different items. These include plants, animals, and objects. Many of these are provided by the University Hospitals of Cleveland Radiology Department and others by Dr. Bruce Lattimer of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. We thought you might appreciate the beauty of these images even if you don't enjoy our more standard medical images noted in the other sections of this web site.
Also remember we will be changing these pictures about every two months so please visit us occasionally to see some imaging magic produced by the many invisible rays we use in radiology. If any visitor would like to have something unusual or clever X-rayed or scanned. Send an Email message using the comments section on the home page. We won't be able to accommodate all requests but we will try when we can.
