We don’t have the concept of copyright.

I don't know of any country in the world that doesn't at least have a concept of copyright, and the vast majority of them have signed international treaties. Maybe Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Somalia are exceptions? But those aren't in Europe.
This isn't a creative work so the applicability of copyright is dubious.
How would you know? Whether or not something is protected by copyright is not something you can asses with a blanket statement. Medical images can definitely be protected by copyright.
Can there exist medical images protected by copyright? Definitely I'm you can even find an image made by a photocopier that can be protected by copyright, but that doesn't mean photocopies are usually so.

You're gonna have a hard time convincing a court that your dental radio was in fact creative art.

What I meant to say was, that we don’t have the concept of transferable copyright.
How does that tie into what I explained?
Yes, we have.
