Radiology Art

bunnybean-med 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.

Selena’s On-Air Debut

My sis­ter Selena had her on-air debut on NPR Morn­ing Edi­tion yes­ter­day, as the trans­la­tor voice of a Chi­nese woman whose fam­ily recently sought asy­lum in the United States. Lis­ten in at about 0:55.

Where did she get that excep­tional radio voice? It couldn’t have been here. Or here. Hmm… It must have been here:

This is Canine Public Radio Morning Edition, I'm Tasha.  Grrr... Ruff.  Achoo! That's my bone!

This is Canine Pub­lic Radio Morn­ing Edi­tion, I’m Tasha. Grrr… Ruff. Achoo! That’s my bone!

Con­grat­u­la­tions, Selena! You’re fol­low­ing in Tasha’s foot­steps. And you’ll pull ahead as soon as she stops to sniff something.
