iBooks and More Get CT Scans

A friend of mine tweeted about “ Radiology Art” today. Here’s a bit from their “About” section:

Scans are acquired as DICOM images using a GE CT scanner, then processed in Osirix software on a Macintosh iMac computer. Colors are assigned based on the varying densities of materials present throughout the object. Depending on the spread of densities within a particular subject, black or white backgrounds are chosen. Images are further processed in Adobe Photoshop for proper contrast and balance.

My favorite? The iBook and the vacuum tube.
