In 1895, German physics professor Wilhelm Röntgen produced and discovered X-rays while experimenting with Lenard tubes and Crookes tubes and began studying them. In his initial report, the first paper written on X-rays, Röntgen referred to the radiation as "X", to indicate that it was an unknown type of radiation.

The name stuck, although many of his colleagues suggested calling them Röntgen rays (over his great objections). Interestingly, they are still referred to as such in many languages. In 1901, Röntgen received the first Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery.

Today, X-rays are essential in various sectors such as health care and transportation security. People even use them to detect art forgeries!

To show you just how deeply they have penetrated our lives, Bored Panda put together a list of some of the most interesting X-ray images we could find on the Internet. From an Egyptian sarcophagus to a metal arm, let's take a closer look, shall we?

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, similar to visible light. But X-rays have higher energy than light and can pass through most objects, including the body. Medical X-rays are used to generate images of tissues and structures inside the body. If X-rays traveling through the body also pass through an x-ray detector on the other side of the patient, an image will be formed that represents the “shadows” formed by the objects inside the body.

General practitioner, medical researcher, and founder of PrimeHealth Clinical Research, Iris Gorfinkel, M.D., told Bored Panda that probably the most common X-ray of all is the chest X-ray, simply because it's often done when people are coughing, especially longer than a couple of weeks. "Other common X-rays that are fairly routine are mammography (looking for breast cancer in women) and CAT scans (we'll do CAT scans of the chest, the abdomen, and that's often to look for various cancers as well)."

Even though X-rays have saved countless lives and helped in a range of important discoveries, scientists have shown concern over the health implications of getting one. "No radiation is considered particularly healthy because ionizing radiation can interfere with the way cells divide and cause normal cells to become cancerous cells," Gorfinkel explained. "But the reality of the amount of radiation with various studies is that it's actually very low, and does not tend to do that unless they are constantly repeated."

Experts estimate that 0.4 percent of cancers in the U.S. are caused by CT scans and that an average CT scan might raise the chance of fatal cancer by 1 in 2,000. However, this figure pales in comparison to the natural incidence of fatal cancer in the US of 1 in 5. 

"For the most part, for the vast majority of people getting X-rays, that's not a concern," Gorfinkel said. In other words, the risks are very little compared to the benefits of medical imaging.

To give you some context, the Earth is constantly bombarded by cosmic radiation, including X-rays. These rays are not harmless but they are unavoidable, and the radiation is at such low levels that its effects are virtually unnoticed. "There was always an ambient amount of radiation, in other words, just walking around on planet Earth, we have exposure," Gorfinkel said.

A chest X-ray is equivalent to a just few days of the amount of natural background radiation and a mammogram is three months worth. But a CAT scan of the abdomen, for example, is worth years of natural background radiation. Gorfinkel said it's important for people to realize that CAT scans, in general, are much higher in radiation than X-rays.

My daughter was diagnosed with RA when she was 13. She is 29 now and has had three surgeries to improve her joints to help her be able to walk. Her toes looked much like this X-ray. This is a horrible illness that is invisible until it is at this point. The pain that these patients deal with every day is heartbreaking. People still give her dirty looks when she uses a handicap parking space. Imagine if your toes looked like this...don't you think you would want to walk as little as possible?

"I view them as invasive tests, even though people don't feel anything going on. Considering that a CAT scan of the chest or a CAT scan of the abdomen is equivalent to three years of natural background radiation, they should be done with careful thought—they shouldn't be just done willy nilly."

This is an oversimplified analogy but imagine injecting stainless steel if it was liquid at room temperature. Pure mercury is still toxic but less reactive than mercury compounds. The main challenge is removing the physical mercury before it reacts or causes a physical blockage somewhere.

It's kind of similar to acupuncture with needles. The needles go to certain points to "turn off" the pain. The little gold threads are supposed to do the same but long term since they stay at those points. But what was done here was just ... I have no words. There should be a few gold threads at certain points and it isn't supposed to look like someone shot the knee with buckshot. If done properly the person will have less to no pain what makes them use the knee the way it should be used (no relieving posture), strenghten the muscles etc.

Like any therapy, alternative or otherwise, it works only if done properly. From this X-Ray, yeah, they were likely treated by their aunts next door neighbor's daughter's friend who read paragraph on Pinterest or an article in Mother Earth News, and decided they knew everything they needed to know. I'm a huge believer in alternative therapies in conjunction with "modern" medicine, but this kind of thing just frustrates me. There really needs to be consequences for this

Gold is absolutely neutral inserted in some way in our body; what kind of "positive action" may have so casually distributed under the skin? I believe in traditional Chinese medicine about Acupuncture, and it's an effective help without chemicals, but this is a charlatan money steal.

Oh wow! That is so cool! I want to x-ray my tap shoes, I don't know if they would look similar though, they are not Capezios, and Capezio's are really good quality usually

I squeezed two plastic pellet fragments out of my right arm, months after nephew shot the wall I was leaning against and fragments hit me. I have not let him use the BB gun ever again.
