Legally, I think it would be hard to distinguish between an Xray and some
other type of photographic method. Certainly X-Rays have been used as artistic
expression, and even a routine xray would qualify, I think.

Is an x-ray sufficiently creative to be copyrightable?  Would an image of an
x-ray in a medical text be copyrighted?   What do you all think?





Thanks for any help!
