Pretty jealous about this. Even if I had to pay, I would Iikely get one.

I am no where near qualified to answer this, but you should be fine. Animals tend to get great treatment, better than some humans in some cases. I believe that their xray equipment still needs to meet standards of safety. I do not know who that is off hand.

So no, not stupid.

I hear bananas are pretty radioactive

Apparently most of the radioactivity of bananas is in the skin.

Hey,

Not a radiologist but I believe that all commercial ionizing radiation sources in the UK would come under the same regulations whether it is for human or animal use, the industrial regulatory legislation is covered by the;

Health and Safety Executive UK - Ionising Radiation Regulations 2017
and
Theratom/European Union - Basic Safety Standards Directive 2013

It is true that in the UK we absorb around 2.2 mSv every year from ā€˜natural background radiationā€™, to put that into context a chest x-ray is 0.02 mSv so about a 3 or 4 days worth and yes a transatlantic flight exposes you to around 0.1 mSv so around 5 chest x-rays.

Thatā€™s not really the point though, the point is which parts of the body do you specifically want to avoid bombarding with ionizing radiation as not all human tissue absorbs or is affected by radiation the same. An easy answer is essentially the internal organs but if you are a guy then your testes are most at risk followed by (in descending order of weighting factor which represents the sensitivity of each tissue to radiation);

Colon
Bone marrow (red)
Lung
Stomach
Bladder
Liver
Thyroid gland
Oesophagus

Now kids, what have we learnt? I donā€™t know what the mSv dose of a veterinarian X-ray machine will be but I highly doubt its more than a chest x-ray however if you wear adequate protection such as a lead apron and your vet friend appropriately directs the particle beam then I donā€™t really see a problem with a couple of hand X-rays.

Cool, thanks for the input

Thatā€™s kinda what I figured, just wanted a couple semi objective perspectives

This is just proof there needs to be a 1000 day badge. Keep em hooked

I have just finished a tidy up of the current 3 Virtual Reality discussions:-

Dangerous Things Virtual Reality Content chat

Does anyone have VR or be interested in VR content?

Dangerous Things Virtual Reality Meeting space

Virtual Cyborg Meet-Up space :Robot:

Virtual Reality Equipment Chat

Hopefully :crossed_fingers:t3: that makes things easier to follow

Yeah, used to be a huge caramel pudding pic with some easter eggs in the html codeā€¦

Shame someone bought it this year. :sob:

Anyhow, now Iā€™ll start redirecting into omnom.codeloch instead.

As per this example:

ps: Iā€™ve just tossed that one together while I was(am) in a boring meeting. When I have more time Iā€™ll get some art.
Probably need a mascot. :sweat_smile:
