Re: sending x-rays by e-mail

[Guest guest]

Hi Harriet,

If you have a digital camera (or can borrow one) and if you have a cooperative

doctor, go to his office and get him to put your Xrays up on the light board in

a

darkened room and simply photograph them. If you have a tripod, so much the

better - for really clear resolution. If you don't have an easy way to patch

your

camera into your computer to copy the images into email, take the photo disk

to any digital photo service and ask them to send it back to you by email - and/

or have them save it onto a CD which allows you to copy the images youself,

then send. If you don't have a digital camera, you can probably get a regular

print digitized commercially... but it may lose some definition in the process.

Be

sure to take several photos of the Xrays while you're at it, with different

light

and shutter settings.

Sounds more complicated than it is.

Ditto! I have all my films from about '98 - present, but they are all

" archaeic " films. I want my hip to be immortalized in the digital age!!!

Hello Harriet

Additional to the very good advise from a you should try to save the

photograph of the X ray in JPEG or similar format - this compresses the file

and makes it easier to email. If your file size is too large it wont send

at the worst or it'll take ages to transmit.

If you not used to digital photography it is very simple but I suggest you

solicit the help of a friend or work colleague who has this knowledge. The

reason a suggests using a tripod is due to taking the photo with the

flash switched off. You'll lose a lot of detail with the flash on.

Don't be put off because as a states it sounds more complicated than it

is.

In addition to the previous posts. I would advice using higher

resolution (greater than 1 mega pixel) to take the picture if

possible. You can always resize them later to a smaller size for

emailing. If you are trying to use it for consulting with other

doctors, best to ask what resolution is acceptable.

If you have your xrays, a light box would be ideal. A large window

with the right background and lighting would also do the trick. I

used one of my door with a large window, put white sheets as

background.

Another way I've done was to put the glass from a large picture frame

in between two chairs. I spread white sheets on the ground before

hand and use a bright light underneath the chair to create a light

box. It is kind of hard to use a tripod this way.

Bottom line, I don't think emailed x-rays can be used for serious

diagnosis but it does give doctor a pretty good idea what is going

on.

Hi Harriet,

I sent my pictures via e-mail to Dr.Amstutz in L.A. and to Dr.DeSmet

in Belgium.

First I took a digital camera and X-rays to my local Chiro and took

pictures of the X-Ray while on the board they use to read them, don't

use the flash. Then downloaded them to my computor just as if you

would to send them to friends. Jpeg style. Then address them and push

send. Both doctors were able to read them pretty well.

Good Luck Mike
