Touch Press has released “X is for X-Ray“, an interactive iPad book that shows the X-rayed internals of 26 everyday objects. More a work of art than a useful tome for radiologists, it contains X-ray images of everything from teddy bears to a toaster to a motorbike. The teddy bear even got special treatment, getting dipped in contrast medium before being put on camera, causing its fur to turn bright on the resulting images.
Many of the objects can be rotated and be shown stereoscopically, while others can be zoomed in to reveal additional details. X is for X-Ray was created by Hugh Turvey, Artist in Residence at the British Institute of Radiology, with text by Paul Rosenthal and spoken rhymes by Dr Who actor Kerry Shale. It is available on iTunes for $7.99.
