One photo a day challenge (202/365) all year long
I was for inspiration to post in today’s challenge and luckily I found this positioning book and thought I could share some interesting facts with you. It’s named after Wilhelm Roentgen, a German scientist who accidentally discovered X-rays in 1895.
As you can imagine we have different ways of taking X-rays and there are people who some positions are named after. I had no idea what these people looked like till today. Like I found someone called waters. One of the positions for imaging facial bones.
This is a picture of Waters
And this is what a waters Xray looks like. I’m not a doctor, but waters usually are ordered to look at sinuses, to look at the nasal bone and also the eye socket along with other reasons that the physician might have.
Today, most facial bones and skull X-rays go to CT.

Interesting post. Its similar to photography looking for the right angle!
Lol, I think I’m going to a series about the other guys. What do you think?
Other accidental discoveries I have read one is the microwave, the man (Percy Spencer) melted a chocolate that was very close to where he was testing(in his pocket). And the one who discovered the radioactivity of uranium was a woman, (Marie Curie) she happened the same but with her notes sheets that got dark because they were very close to the uranium unfortunately she died from being exposed for a long time.
I remember reading about Marie Curie. Forgot the details lol.
@leggy23... It is true that x-rays has effect on the human body in the long run?
The answer falls under the topic of stochastic radiation exposure which has to do with the amount of radiation exposure. We have badges that measure our monthly exposure to keep us in the allowed range that’s considered safe.
Thank you for sharing this. This is the beauty of steemit. Learning things, one might ordinarily not have interest on.
Thank you. I wasn’t sure if I should do more of these. Maybe I will.
Just do it friend. You never can tell who will find it useful someday.

There is a difference in onr eye socket of the x ray
X-rays that symbolize the value of past history ...
X-RAY is a great way to find bones problem
