Even if the risk were worth it for the person being fitted, it might not be for the techs using it. Remember that this was only affordable at the time because there was zero health and safety. If you take proper precautions and only use trained personnel, it’s going to be cost prohibitive. I think sonagrams and laser scanning would be the better choice, safer, and cheaper.

Medical/dental techs leave the room when they're taking these X-rays for precisely this reason. You could have a separate room in a shoe store just for the X-rays ... but realistically I can't see that happening. How many people would even go for this? I sure as hell wouldn't want X-rays taken in a shoe store.
