Imager shows cross-sections of everyday objects – analog version
GE shows how their body imaging technology can take detailed
pictures of insides without cutting, using fruit, a baseball,
engine motor, and violin to demonstrate. Many body imaging
devices follow a principle called tomography (the 'T' in CT, PET
and SPECT systems), which take images of body "slices" using
everything from projection data to powerful magnets. But have
you ever wondered how such routine procedures can help
clinicians see things that used to require a sharp knife? Watch
how GE's body imaging technology can paint a bigger picture of
what’s happening beneath our skin. Update: I wasn't paying close
enough attention, and it turns out that these are actual,
physical sliced objects. Like, with a saw. Now I'm left
wondering what the point is.
