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.
