In addition to the medical usecases listed in the other comments, it's also just pretty cool.

I can think of a use case. The same one we have for modified transparent Zebra Fish in medical research.

That is so that you can observe features such as the circulatory system.

Knee hurts, doctor can have a look and literally see what's wrong.

xray can only pick up information up to a level.

an extra tool(window to our inner bits) without the necessity of making a biopsy is always welcome.
