    Medical What can generally be seen in a x-ray image?

    To give context: A friend of mine took an x-ray of his thoracic spine because he's feeling pain in that region. I think he's going to show the x-ray to the doctor this week. I, as a physics student, was asking myself, what can be seen through an x ray. In the case of my friend, it's unlikely...

    Solving for image height given ##h_o, d_i##, and r

    $$f = -\frac{-30}{2} = 15$$ solving for ##d_0## in $$f^{-1} = d_i^{-1} + d_0^{-1}$$, $$d_0 = (f^{-1} - d_i^{-1})^{-1}$$ = -36.1364 solving for ##h_i## in $$m = \frac{h_i}{h_0} =-\frac{d_i}{d_o}$$, $$h_i = -d_i\times\frac{h_0}{d_o} = 0.4987$$ I'm told by webassign that it should be negative...
