Untrue. For years there absolutely were.

These are used in medical scenarios with your fully-informed consent. TSA was absolutely not forthcoming about the capabilities of their checkpoint scanners, and they earned the moniker "pornoscanner" for a very good reason.
Additionally, even ignoring the fact that most medical x-rays are used to look inside of you rather than at your skin (why would one use a fancy machine for a surface inspection when the Mk. 1 eyeball is Right There?), the context is completely different in a way that's very, very important.
