X-rays from Scotch Tape?

It's been a couple years since I posted here. I doubt I have any readers left, but this was too good to pass up. As you know, I'm a radiologist. When I see a story like this, it peaks my interest.

He suggests that with some refinements, the process might be harnessed for making inexpensive X-ray machines for paramedics or for places where electricity is expensive or hard to get.

Supposedly they created an x-ray of their finger solely from the radiation emitted after pealing off scotch tape. I'd love to see it. This could revolutionize my industry.

Or not.

See for yourself.
