Medical images (including radiographs, CT images etc) cannot be copyrightable if produced in certain countries, including the United States, see Wikilegal/Copyright of Medical Imaging.

This file is in the public domain because it is a work of medical imaging created in the United States and does not contain additional copyrightable graphics. See Wikilegal/Copyright of Medical Imaging for details. Informed consent is generally required at least where human subjects are identifiable.

Similarly, data and factual information are not protected by copyright, and considered to be public domain once published. Additionally, simple representations and visualisations of data (e.g. tables and barcharts) are typically not creative enough to be eligible for copyright protection. As such, these types of material may be freely imported to Radlines without permission.
