Congratulations to the @framonauts crew and all involved on performing the first human radiograph in space! A giant leap into the final frontier for radiology.
The ride to orbit was much smoother than I had anticipated. Apart from the final minute before SECO, I barely felt any G-forces—it honestly felt like just another flight. I had imagined it would feel like being in an elevator that suddenly drops, but that sensation never came.

A big thanks to @AerospaceDr and everyone else involved in our work. Thrilled to share it with the world and take the next steps towards radiography in spaceflight! #SpaceMedicine #AsMA2024 #SpaceRadiology
Great work by @MichaelPohlen & the Exploration Medical Capability team today at #AsMA2024! Analysis showed that having the capability to do x-ray imaging in #space could apply to a significant number of the medical conditions that we anticipate could occur on exploration missions
