Lee, I am sure it should be "of"
If it were "from" I understand it to mean the soldiers already had had the x-rays taken and they physically collected them from the soldiers.

Xrays of/from
I have been approached by a teacher with this cloze exercise. "they have taken xrays ____________ more than 1.1 million soldiers". I advised "from" but I cannot explain why it cannot be "of" since it would be "taken photos of more than....". Any suggestions?
Thanks

PS. I work as an English teacher in a small city in China and thought that Y4000 was not too bad a salary for China. I read on this site of people saving US$500 a month. What salaries are they earning, where are they situated, and what do I need to do to get that type of salary?
