OK, it’s a bit of a weird question, but…are there any really “famous” X-Rays?
I mean, X-Rays taken of a notable person, or of a notable subject, or some such?
The closest two I can think of are the First X-Ray ever taken, and the X-Ray of Hitler’s skull.
In short, is there an equivilant of National Geographic’s “Afgan Refugee Girl” photo in the Radiologists’ community?

(On second thought, “Weird” is putting it far too mildly)
I don’t know if they’re considered famous, but I’ve seen x-rays of a man who tried to smuggle a collapsible revolver into a prison. He had inserted it into a place metaphorically reknowned for the absense of sunlight.
Don’t know of “famous X-rays”, but I know of some striking ones. There’s the X-ray of a hand struck by shot (the lead shot shows up as small dots all around the bones) taken in the first decade of X-Ray use. A reproduction of it hangs on the wall on the first floor of the Green Physics building at MIT.
There’s a full-body X-Ray of a dressed woman in the Science Museum in Rochester, N.Y. You can see her jewelry all over her body.
Then, of course, there’s one bona-fide “famous” X-ray of the DNA Double helix, an x-ray diffraction photo. But I don’t think that’s what you had in mind.
He hid it in Seattle?
Retired X-ray/Mammo tech. here
I have a few “cute films” Best one is of a Vibrator stuck (wonder where) and it’s blurry, 'cause it’s still running! OOPPPSSSS!
The missing JFK x-rays are famous. To the Oliver Stone set, anway.
Well I remember this one.
Ouch
I was going come in here with a link to Phineas Gage’s X-Ray, but sadly, it was before the first x-ray.
But here’s a good one.
