You may not hear, how expensive become now x-ray science, because safety regulations.

At Edison time, technologies was very unregulated, and because of this was cheap and easy achievable, but lot of people harmed, many just die.

Now you cannot just install other detector into existing (commercial) machine, because license for this machine is very strict, and don't accept any changes (or you will lost guarantee).

In developing countries, regulations usually not working so strict, but in developing countries x-ray machines are not so abundant, so they are just busy at working and have no spare time to make pictures for blog.

And if we choose scientific approach (not using commercial machine), to make x-ray machine from scratch, this is just another financial beast, magnitudes bigger.

So, when I see x-ray pictures in some "private" blog, I always wonder, if this is true private, and not another bubble, aimed to engage people and later sell them some other super-duper tech.
