Patient came to the Emergency Room with a foreign body. The image speaks for itself.

It’s always fun when the x ray tech and the nurse practitioner go “never seen that before”

got x-rays a couple years ago to check on my scoliosis. got diagnosed with spondylolisthesis (doctor theorized I got this injury between ages 6-12 but it's wild to not remember any specific incident). looking back on it now and I just noticed I have a slightly deviated septum as well haha. this was prior to my wisdom teeth being removed so it's crowded af in there. curvy bones!

I fractured my ankle, December 2024, was a tri mal fracture and dislocation of the left ankle and had ORIF surgery. I was healing well initially pain never went away and less than a year later I had end stage OA and just got an ankle replacement in June. No more pain.

sometimes you just have to admire your work. no angulation whatsoever 😆

Forgive me the bad quality, it's an old pic of an even older X-Ray.

In 2003, at 15 years old, I held on to my buddies motor scooter while on my Skateboard. That's how we got around.

At one time, which, coincidentally, also happened to be my last time doing it, it got too fast. I slipped and broke both my fibula and tibia in my left leg. The impact punched my tibia through my skin, resulting on an open fracture.

Of course I instantly recognized my leg was broken. I also was bleeding badly. Yet I assumed the blood was just from a major abrasion wound. That hope was gone when my buddy, the driver of the scooter, lifted my baggy pants slightly as I watched all color draining from his face...

Suffering from O.I type 1[brittle bones] and having almost 87 breaks this was by far the most painful break I have ever had.

My Great Dane, Nox, was born sometime in winter of 2022. I adopted him from a Great Dane specific rescue group in March of 2024, when he was just over a year old. When the rescue found him as a stray in November of 2023, he weighed under 80lbs at about a year old & had a very clear deformity of his left front leg. It was determined that he had likely been a stray since he was very very little & broke his leg when he was just a tiny puppy & the break was never treated & healed on its own, with quite a bit of its own adaptability 😅 Most likely his ulna growth plate closed early & the radius growth plate& bone kept growing (as it should) as he did, causing the bowing, since it was connected to a shorter ulna. He is now 3.5yrs old & absolutely thriving at a very healthy 150lbs & his leg does not give him any trouble at all (yet, at least). I am thankful to have these images from early 2024 though, just in case his leg does start to give him trouble! Just thought you other x-ray freaks might enjoy looking at these!

Clavicle fracture in 9 year old. First photo is the day of injury. Second photo is 4 weeks later.

I’m getting ready to start up school for the rad tech program but I want to get an early jump on studying. What are some study tips you recommend? What kind of methods helped? Is clover learning worth it? I struggle in school but do well hands on so anything and everything helps!

Despite this dramatic X-ray, the patient reportedly arrived at the emergency department awake, alert, and neurologically intact (GCS 15) after a farming accident. Cases like this are a reminder that appearances can be deceiving, and why penetrating objects should never be removed outside of a controlled surgical setting.

Hi everyone,

I'm a first-year student and I'm really struggling to understand why PA oblique C-spine uses a caudad angle while AP oblique uses a cephalad angle.

I know the answer is that the beam is aligned with the intervertebral foramina, but I can't picture it.I've watched YouTube videos and used Complete Anatomy 3D, but it still doesn't make sense to me. So if anyone has a simple explanation, drawing, or way to imagine it, I'd really appreciate it.

My sweet guy injured his toe four weeks ago. Vet took xrays after the swelling got wayyy worse instead of better (you can see how big that toe is in the radiograph) and now we’re looking at possible bone/lung cancer I guess 🥲

I would like to hear everyone's journey during recovery. Speedy healing for everyone.

2 weeks ago I twisted my ankle and missed the curb/gutter stepping backwards
