I got an Xray of my spine after I went to a chiropractor. I've been going to physical therapy twice a week ever since my accident three months ago. However, I am still trying to recover so I decided on seeing the chiropractor.

Anyway, he took an Xray and it shows how screwed up my vertebrae are. He let me take it home to show my parents. I'd like to scan it to have a copy. I could also post it on OT so you guys can comment on how fuct up it is.

Is it going to totally screw up the xray if I scan it?

EDIT: Okay, tried scanning it. The first time I got black. The second, I held a light behind it and it came in slightly. The third, I got a brighter light (mag lite) and held it over the beam whil it went up and down.. Came in all screwed up.. too bright in some places and not bright enough in others.


Any ideas? I need a spread out light source. I already tried my laptop screen with a pure white background. It isn't bright enough.
 
I can't see how scanning it could hurt it. When you view an x-ray it is with a backlight, and a scanner simply shines a light onto the object and looks at it. So I'd try it.
 
My old lab and my old chem lab used to scan film sheets often.
once they have been developed they are fine.
its similar to scanning in developed film.
