Sunday Science

                    'Computerized tomography' (CT scans) utilize technology that allow us to take the data collected from various X-ray images and convert them into pictures, giving us the ability to view the structures inside the human body. New CT technology is able to complete scans in the amount of time it takes for a single heartbeat to elapse (1). These types of medical advances provide us with the ability to complete more accurate scans in a minimal amount of time, while helping to eliminate flaws in the images caused by voluntary or involuntary movements (such as those that might be anticipated in pediatric or seizure patients).
                  Here's a sneak peak of the beautiful, exquisitely detailed, and completely amazing images that are captured by GE's new CT technology "Revolution CT" & Yes, this is real, photo credit  GE Healthcare.
