I was for inspiration to post in today’s challenge and luckily I found this positioning book and thought I could share some interesting facts with you. It’s named after Wilhelm Roentgen, a German scientist who accidentally discovered X-rays in 1895.
As you can imagine we have different ways of taking X-rays and there are people who some positions are named after. I had no idea what these people looked like till today. Like I found someone called waters. One of the positions for imaging facial bones.
This is a picture of Waters
And this is what a waters Xray looks like. I’m not a doctor, but waters usually are ordered to look at sinuses, to look at the nasal bone and also the eye socket along with other reasons that the physician might have.
Today, most facial bones and skull X-rays go to CT.
