The NYTimes has an inter­est­ing arti­cle today about artist and med­ical stu­dent Satre Stuelke’s Radi­ol­ogy Art project. If you’re an artist with access to expen­sive med­ical equip­ment, what bet­ter to do than scan ran­dom stuff and see what happens?

Stuelke’s medium of choice is a CT Scan­ner, which takes a series of X-ray images of an object with dif­fer­ent focal lengths and from dif­fer­ent angles. The data can then be assem­bled into a 3D image of the object through a process called “tomosyn­the­sis.” This, in turn, allows you to dis­cern impor­tant facts. For instance, appar­ently, the bunny to the right is filled with beans.
