Historic: The first X-ray images of the human body taken in space

The article discusses a historic medical milestone in space exploration, where astronauts aboard the Fram2 mission captured the first X-ray images of the human body in space. The mission, conducted by SpaceX under Elon Musk, involved a four-day trip to a polar orbit around Earth. Astronauts used a lightweight portable X-ray device designed for microgravity environments to image various parts of their bodies, including hands, feet, the abdomen, and chest. They also tested the device’s ability to detect damage in electronic equipment. Three independent radiologists on Earth evaluated the images, finding them clinically useful and comparable to those taken on Earth. This development marks a significant step forward for space medicine, particularly for future long-duration missions beyond Earth.
