X-rays and injuries

Our third episode talks about one of the ubiquitous technologies in medicine - x-rays - and how we have been able to look into bony structures without opening people up. Hamish tells us his stories on how he has broken his fair share of bones and his experiences with x-ray imaging, whilst in the meantime trying to squeeze in a bit of science, technology, and history chat on how x-rays work. Keeping in theme, the conversation then explores synthetic biomaterials to repair broken bones and bone defects, and flipping the approach and talking about how we can use x-rays themselves to explore biomaterials!
