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

[Robert J. Cihak]

In America, under our inherited Anglo-American legal tradition, that which
is not prohibited is allowed.

I've heard that the Napoleonic system and apparently the totalitarian
systems in Nazi Germany, the former Soviet Union, (and creeping into
America), that which is not explicitly allowed is prohibited.

In the USA, "industrial radiography" might regulate this art here and has
its own set of rules & regulations. 

I don't know how Dutch legal traditions approach these questions. 

Prof. Vos, could you please enlighten us about the Dutch approach to such
questions?

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

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:
