Since then many artists have used this technique in their works.
In the 1930s, Diego Rivera included a radiograph of a skull in his
"Man at the Crossroads" mural. Wim Delvoye, a Belgian artist,
created Gothic stained-glass windows featuring x-ray images of
different body parts for the series "9 Muses." Diane Covert
created collages of CT and x-ray scans of damaged body parts as
part of her "Inside Terrorism" exhibit. Some artists (like Man Ray
and László Moholy-Nagy) have also created "negative" images
similar to radiographs using various techniques. while others such
as Andy Warhol, Yves Klein, Albert Koetsier, Leslie Wright, and
Steven Meyers created a colour-negative effect in drawings,
paintings, or other works.
A Hong Kong based radiologist Dr. Kai-Hung Fung, at the Pamela
Youde Nethersole Easter hospital maps various organs using 3D
computed tomography (CT) scans. After feeding the data into a
computer, he then adds colour using his own methodology that
he chooses to call “rainbow technique”.
