Skin X-Ray Device
Skin X-Ray Device
Sometimes, splinters, metal filings, shards of glass, fiberglas, insect stingers, buckshot, etc. get lodged in someone’s skin.
This is a concept for a device which can be rolled along the skin allowing an X-ray to be made of the tissue just below the skin surface to find the material before, or rather than, operating. The procedure is non-invasive. The device can be pushed manually or motorized to maintain a constant speed and forms a protrusion, between the rollers, tall enough to be X-rayed.

The depth of the tissue being X-rayed depends on the density of the tissue, and is determined by relative speed of the film is moved past the “slit”. The image on the film is a linear scan of the tissue at a controllable distance below the surface of the skin.
