How to copy X-ray records

Last time my physio therapist wanted to see my X-ray records. I went to my radiologist and borrow my X-ray records, which were kept altogether in a large brown envelop.

I brought it home. The therapist appointment was several days away.

<p> I thought, why not take a copy of all my X-ray records with my Minox ?

<p><ul><li> Camera: Minox C <li> Film: Techpan <li> Lighting: Hold X ray record against window. <p> Set distance: Frame the picture, such that it covers slightly larger then the X-ray film. Then use Minox chain to set distance.

<li> Shutter: set at Automatic. </ul>

<p> After development, the negative strip contains a (positive ) micro -records of my X-rays.

<p> This is another application of Minox.

How did the negs turn out? Can you blow them up into anything useable?

Do you happen to know a doctor, personally, that you can get to

evaluate the negative?

<p>

Interesting expiriment in any case.

Sean, I have'nt enlarge any of the X ray negative yet. In the event of the original X ray record folder is lost, then I may think about

enlarge the negative into 8x10" sheet film.

<p> At this moment, it is rather as a microfiche experiment, for fun than for practical use :)
