3. Digital is the problem and the solution..

You don't need a radiologist, just a Radiologic Technologist to take the radiograph for you.. Most Rads are clueless in a x-ray room. Being digital it's locked into the Radiology dept's server. With all the HIPPA laws it's hard to "release" images to the outside world with out a bunch of paperwork. In the past it was just shoot, process and grab the film out of the processor and out the door you went. Also getting the right radiographic technique on the machine was sort of a hunt an peck maneuver. There isn't any real density to play with so standard factors would not work. If I remember correctly it was something less than a finger technique.. Very low amount of radiation. To get a sharp image you would have to dig into your radiographic physics bag of tricks. Right up my alley. I loved that stuff..
Also getting the radiographic contrast would be a problem.. Very expensive. I would use the discards from a angiogram. Perks of the job. You would place the flower stem in the dilute contrast and let it sit for a day or so to suck up the contrast. Again a S.W.A.G.with the timing..
Great fun. Over the years there were lots of "Tricks" we would do with radiographs to blow peoples minds... The phantom foot was always a fun trick.. Sorry about getting geeky with the physics..
