Original Note:
Most airport body scanners do not show bones, they show a greyscale 3D model approximating what the person would look like without clothes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_body_scanner They are a different to medical X-rays https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_X-ray https://www.lancsindustries.com/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-backscatter-x-rays-and-safety/ But they are still slightly hazardous to human health https://www.epa.gov/radtown/radiation-and-airport-security-scanning Safer scanners don't use X rays https://www.arpansa.gov.au/understanding-radiation/radiation-sources/more-radiation-sources/airport-passenger-screening
