The images are part of a unique collection up for auction in Las Vegas later this year.
They were taken at the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Florida, where Monroe was being treated. The x-ray is marked 'Marilyn Di Maggio' and date to around the time the actress was divorcing her second husband, US baseball star Joe Di Maggio.
There are high hopes for the sale at Julien's Auctions. Entertainment auctioner Darren Julien said: "We estimate the x-rays to be right around $800 to $1200 each but anticipating that they'll sell for a lot more based upon other x-rays of celebrities that we've sold."
It is widely believed Monroe suffered two miscarriages in the late 1950s and it is thought that around the time the x-rays were taken, she could have been trying to see if she was pregnant.
