PET scans are most commonly used for tracking the progress of cancer or cancer treatment, and observing blood flow in the heart and brain. Army recruits were X‑rayed for chest conditions such as tuberculosis, and in the 1940s mobile X-ray units travelled around the country performing mass civilian screening for the disease.This technology can help us move from thinking about illness as something that’s happening to us, towards something we can engage with and get involved in.

X-rays were the first technology that made it possible to see inside the body without having to open it up. A child trying on new shoes would stand on the footpad of the machine while they, a parent and the sales assistant looked through viewing portholes at a continuous X-ray image.

The technique became known as MRI because, although it was safe, patients were understandably put off by the term ‘nuclear’. The technology was impressive, particularly when they compared the size of Hilda’s uterus to a normal one. Detectors record how the beams pass through sections of the body and the data is processed by a computer into cross-sectional images or virtual ‘slices’. Yes you can take a sneak peek at what happens in Your Body Uncovered with Kate Garraway in the trailer released by the BBC below.

But in the late 1920s, evidence began to emerge which showed that large doses of X‑ray radiation were harmful. Ultrasound has little to no effect on the foetus or pregnant woman, so it is much safer than X-rays for use during pregnancy.

My son loves to look and see what happens when you eat food (let’s be real – he loves to see the poop)! When you’re ill, the first step towards recovery is coming to terms with your diagnosis, and I think being able to see, literally, what’s going on inside your own body gives patients the understanding to really do that. Even if the younger children are not fully aware of all the terms they are still able to use their fine motor skills when using the flaps etc.
