> How about some kind of film or sensor that needs minutes of particle exposure from a far lesser powerful source? You would rest your foot or limb on the film or sensor for a minute. There would be a little blur but manageable, maybe corrected digitally? I think that blur would be problematic for fractures, at least for the variety where you aren't sure whether you should go to the hospital or not. More generally speaking, even if we had a safe way to get X-rays at home diagnosing them is hard. The "bone is torn in half" ones are easy to see, but I don't think you'd even need an X-ray to diagnose that. The more subtle breaks are hard to pick up on. I googled for fracture X-rays, and on a lot of them I can't tell whether there's a fracture or not unless it's obviously snapped in 2. At home X-rays make less sense to me if you're going to have to have a radiologist look at it anyways. You might as well go to an outpatient imaging place anyways.
