How can I find a website(s) depicting X-ray images showing abnormal
foreign bodies or obstructions?  For example, an x-ray image showing a
bullet lodged in the abdomen or an image showing an object that
someone swallowed or an image showing surgeon tools left inside of a
body after an operation.  The key is that the x-rays must have
something wrong with them--even a broken bone would be great.

Thanks so much. Exactly what I needed.
God bless.

I'm glad the link I provided met your needs so well.

I'm posting it here again to make for an official answer to your question:


http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2003-43,GGLD:en&q=%28nail+OR+coin+OR+bullet+OR+forceps+OR+foreign+body+OR+object%29+x%2Dray



By the way, I used the following search terms at the Google Images site:

[ (nail OR coin OR bullet OR forceps OR foreign body OR object) x-ray ]


You can easily modify this to add or remove terms to look for other
images.  For instance, you can search on [ obstruction x-ray ], and
sure enough, some additional images pop up:


http://images.google.com/images?svnum=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&rls=GGLD%2CGGLD%3A2004-33%2CGGLD%3Aen&q=obstruction+x-ray&btnG=Search



Let me know if you need any additional information.

Cheers,

Thanks,thepresentoftime, it was amazing seeing all the objects found
in people's bodies.  I saw on local TV in Tyler, Tx where a huge hook
was imbedded in a man's skull (he was using the hook for some
equipment and it hit him in the head) but I couldn't find an image for
it. I remember swallowing a penny when I was a kid.  Wonder if it is
still there :)

Thanks.  Exactly what I needed.

God bless
