    Looking for very cheap or better yet free old chest or head x-rays, the big celluloid sheets themselves, you know, that the TV and movie doctors slap onto a white lightbox and muse over for the cameras. They can be fake, and don’t need any patient info on them, as long as they read as realistic on camera. Having trouble googling up a source, especially in my price range which is like, …. the postage.

    Mark-
    How good a relationship do you have with your internist/general practitioner? He or she would likely be able to get you some with a single phone call. Maybe.

    Mark,

    Another option might be to simply grab a “skeleton” graphic off one of the free clip art sites – zoom to the chest area – apply a nasty gaussian blur to the result, then print it as a NEGATIVE image on a piece of transparency film.

    Probably a buck or two at your local Kinkos.

    Just trying to imaging an easy rights-cleared DIY solution – YMMV.

    Good luck.

    I had also thought of this and it is probably the way I will go.
