Hey, isn't Kirkbride at Danvers State? Or is there one here, too?

Any bean jokes? Anyone? Anyone. . .

To aleviate fears. Diagnostic Xray Machines have absolutely no radioactive material in them, PERIOD. The way an XRay is produced is by firing highly excited electrons traveling past the range of visible light and into the range of XRay where they are fired across a vacuumm tube inside the round metal canister. These strike an anode and are deflected through a glass port in the bottom of the tube. The box at the bottom with the knobs is a collimater which decides the size of the field of electons passing by using adjuxtable lead sheets. The electrons pass through the body and the table and into a film cassette. The inside of this cassette contains specially treated sheets on both sides that glow when bombarded by the electrons, thereby exposing the film.

The only hazard is when the machine is actually shooting an XRay.

for some reason this picture reminds me of the scene from the movie "Saw 2" where the girl who was a druggie gets thrown in a pit full of needles. i know the picture is of tubes and all, but it just reminds me of that scene.
