| Abstract | <p>Radiographic films remain the norm in developing countries. Interpreting them is easier and more reliable, using a view box, than holding them up to a light. Commercial view boxes are expensive and difficult to repair. We designed and built an inexpensive radiographic view box using commonly available materials and local craftsmen. If they break, they can be easily repaired by hospital staff. This design can be replicated anywhere in the world.</p> |
