Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You should not be able to find a vet to do this either!. They have the same license that I do, as far as using x-rays!. They use the same equipment as I do, too!. Why would it be different!? Are animals made of muscle and bone or some kind of synthetic materials!?

Now!.!.!.

If you wanted to use x-rays in some way that did not involve exposing people or animals needlesly to radiation, maybe a dentist or vet could help you!. That would be more likely than asking a physician, unless you know a radiologist personally!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really don't know what to tell you!.!. but I just thought about how dangerous that could be!. I remember reading somewhere that the amount of x-rays you can have in a certain time frame is limited because of the how much radiation you're getting from an x-ray!.

Do you know any more details about what you want to do, and did you get the idea from somewhere!? It sounds interesting and I'm interested in the outcome!.

I know it's not the same, but maybe you could have some fun with infrared film!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You will not get a doctor to help - to use medical equipment on humans, you need a legitimate medical or research need!.

Try your friendly veterinarian, who does not have the same legal obligations, and has lower dosage equipment!. Or look up medical equipment salesmen, see if one of them finds the idea fun!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Umm!.!.!.!.!.!.!.x-ray machines emit radiation!.!.!.!.which should only be used for medical purposes!.!.!.i'm a photographer myself so i understand how that WOULD be cool!.!.!.!.but i doubt anyone would be willing to be exposed to radiation, thats if you could even find anyone willing to let you borrow a machine such as that!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just ask somebody who works for the TSA!.

Portrait!? It shows mostly bones!.

Anyway, you need a valid prescription!.

No physician will do that if he doesn't want to lose his license!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
