Anyone had any luck scanning X-Rays? The results of my attempts thus far
have been quite unsatisfactory.

Cheater! That was digital to begin with :).

Best luck I've had so far is with taping them to my window and taking a
picture of them.

Here are a few samples of Erwin's ouchy looking elbow.

Right elbow by itself (a little clearer than the one with both, but its the
same X-Ray)

Right elbow, flexed

Right hind knee. Figured we'd take this one while we were at it.

One of the support groups I belong to is for parents of kids w/ ortho
problems, and that question always comes up. Most do the x-ray in the
window routine. Some also take photos at the doctor's office when the
films are up on a view box. There are digital scanners for x-rays, but I
suspect they're pretty expensive, at least to use outside of a practice
that needs to scan a lot of x-rays.

You don't know *why* they scan so badly do you?

i've never tried scanning. photos of them on the lightbox work best, i
think. or taped to a window on a bright day.

luce's hip/stifles film on the light box.
