Orbital X-ray breakthrough: first diagnostic images captured in microgravity

Four first-time astronauts aboard SpaceX Fram2 used a portable X-ray unit with roughly four hours of training to capture diagnostic images in orbit; three radiologists on the ground judged the images clinically usable to identify fractures or foreign objects, marking the first in-space diagnostic X-rays and highlighting portable imaging as a key tool for future deep-space missions where hospital care is unreachable.
