When laboring over a broken femur or sewing a new coronary artery graft down, most surgeons and their helpers tend to perspire, whether out of physical or psychological stress.

X-ray is a wonderful way to see inside the human body. It is especially great for seeing bone and bone structures and tells a telltale story of what is going on with those structures.
