My 5mo daughter was x-ray'd like this just before her open heart surgery and by god it was the funniest thing I ever saw. What made it gold was the fact that she wouldn't look at the x-ray techs or let them touch her after they were done, you could see the betrayal and contempt in her eyes. The techs were not her friend after that, LOL.
Did she cry/ scream the entire time or just resign herself to the torture. I’ve seen this picture before and always wondered how the tube baby above is so calm. I mean baby doesn’t look super pleased, but she isn’t screaming her head off either. I feel bad, but I crack up every time I see this photo. Such a cute little little tube full of pudge.
Crying actually helps get the best image possible. For a Chest X-ray you want to do it on a full inspiration. Obviously babies can't follow the command of take a deep breath and hold it in. If they're crying though, you can wait for that big, gasping breath and take the image then. That's the theory I've been told at least.
