Robot Takes X-Rays

From TechNudge:

A US scientist has developed a robot, which can take X-ray pictures of sufferers of orthopedic injuries as they move around. Complaints of orthopedic injuries are among the most common reasons people visit the doctor. Surgeons use static X-rays, MRI and CT scans to diagnose patients. They also use X-ray video. But current technologies provide only a tight view of a very limited range of motions in a controlled laboratory setting.
The best part is the robot doesn't have to worry about radiation exposure!
