Fluoroscopic images of fetuses in utero, with position of arm and leg bones highlighted, c.1932. Fluoroscopy (continuous x-rays), while diagnostically useful, can result in lengthy exposure to radiation and may be harmful to developing fetuses; these risks were not yet fully understood in the 1930′s.
