[ RadSafe ] X-Ray Art: A Deeper Look at Everyday Objects

[Cary Renquist]

He is artist in residence at the British Institute of Radiology
So, UK laws.

National Geographic has a brief interview with him here:
Hugh Turvey: Inside the Life of an X-Ray Artist
http://j.mp/1m2W8f4
He mentions that the foot in the stiletto "is made more unique by
radiation law amendments", so it must have been legal in the UK to
perform such x-rays at the time, ~1996.

I don't think that the human x-rays for art would be legal in any of the
U.S. States (x-rays are regulated by individual states in the U.S.)

Dear radsafe readers,

I'm not familiair with the US laws involved in regulation of radiation.
So please, which part of your laws justified the use of X-ray in this
kind of art.

Turvey, artist in residence at the British Institute of Radiology, has
continued his work to show the hidden interiors of everyday objects: ""I
view most of the world around me in terms of how I imagine it is
internally and how it would look if we were to try and x-ray it." Learn
what motivates him in this Smithsonian profile:
