Whenever I look to see what is on the screen on the airport security x-rays it seems instant, very clear and bright, and reasonably easy to distinguish between everything, even if the objects aren’t obviously recognisable to my untrained eye.
But medical x-rays seem to always be dark, blurry, take ages to be ready, and often the doctors have trouble distinguishing things from each other.
Why the discrepancy? Why can’t medical x-rays be as useful as airport ones? Maybe it’s something to do with radiation or something…
