To send MRI scans and X-rays via E Mail

just tape them to a sliding glass door or put them in front of a window with Greaseproof paper behind to even out the light on a sunny day(USA call this Butchers Paper). Take a picture with a digital camera.

Transfer to your computer. Do rememeber the file you send must NOT be greater than 2 MB if it is attached to an E mail please do use a JPEG file.

You can of course copy this to a CD and post that if you wish; forget about the 2 MB size, please though do use a JPEG file. .

If you want to construct your own "Lightbox" heres how its done

What I did started with a trip to the hardware store to pick up a cheap workshop lamp. They had clamp-on lamps with a spun aluminum reflector that was roughly 10 inches or so in diameter. Rather than translate from english to metric units, I found that a lamp that illuminated roughly a square foot was large enough to work relatively well. Anything in that range would work. After buying the lamp, I bought a compact flourescent bulb and found a box that the lamp would fit in well enough that it wouldn't fall over. In practice, the box wouldn't hold the lamp and I needed to put the base of the lamp in a coffee cup to hold it upright. I lined the box with aluminum foil, put the lamp and the coffee cup in the box and aimed it up, running the wire and plug for the lamp out the bottom of the box. I then used a coarse weave fabric over the top of the box and taped and rubber banded it down to keep it taut. The fabric should be coarse weave or else the pattern in the fabric and the pattern in the camera chip will lead to a moire pattern in the photos.

You need a tripod to take the pictures and unless you elevate the box, it's a lot of stooping for a person with back problems but it did work, albeit slowly.
