Hello: I cannot imagine any harming hazard for X-ray machines and CT scans.  They are used when studying ingestion of metallic foreign bodies. On the other hand, MRI machines (and HGs with metal pieces) could get seriously damaged.  (That is why neurosurgeons use now Titanium clips instead of

Alden, How do you get X-rays? A number of years back I approached a fellow I knew who worked at a major medical imaging manufacturer, who told me in no uncertain terms that if any medical equipment were ever used for such a purpose, it would invalidate all sorts of agreements and be

How do you get X-rays? Try a museum. Some have x-ray equipment or access to it. When I lived in Pensacola, Florida I worked as a volunteer on some finds dredged up from a ship that sank in the bay in 1559. Some of the extremely corroded finds were x-rayed and/or cat scanned by one of the

I have a friend who is a veterinarian, who does x-rays of old stuff for me all the time, without ever harming the equipment or invalidating and warranty or such. Of course the clinic owns the x-ray machine, and I usually get the images after hours. I don't know what it would cost - I always

Thanks everyone, I figured that a HG couldn't possibly harm an X-ray machine. I don't know why the fellow told me what he did, especially as he was generally very helpful and friendly. I found his response strange, but figured he must know something I didn't -Arle

We get our X-rays sort of under the table (so to speak) from a clinic where a friend of a friend is the director of radiology. (Convenient, that.) She didn't seem at all concerned about the insurance implications or whatever. The techs are always very helpful and interested (pecan brownies
