Re: Pablo Picasso's sculptures got x-rayed
I think I know some people like that, except they get dichromate instead of x-ray... hehehe. I heard that, when radiography started at Massachusetts General Hospital, people were taking x-ray movies of themselves dancing around in x-ray. Obviously they didn't know the danger of high energy radiation. I'm waiting for the day I can watch them on youtube... I also know one professor who took an x-ray movie of his head while phonating simple syllables (I think it was done in Sweden). It's old enough to record sound in a separate system from filming, but obviously they didn't use a clapperboard for x-ray... they tossed a coin on a hard surface.
