Brains, veins and bones as you've never seen them: Scanner reveals gruesome, high-definition images of the human body

Next-generation GE scanners are being used by doctors in Florida
They hope to make medical scanning cheaper, easier and more accurate
Dubbed 'Revolution CT', the scanners beam x-rays through a patient's body from which a computer reconstructs a detailed image, slice by slice
Technology can build an image of a complete heart in a single heartbeat

Guts, veins, brains and hearts have been revealed in gruesome detail using next-generation body scanners.

The GE scanners, used by doctors in Florida, are currently involved in their first clinical trial aimed at making the process of medical scanning cheaper and easier.

Dubbed 'Revolution CT', they beam x-rays through a patient's body from which a computer can reconstruct a high-definition image, slice by slice.

Really impresive, though it is only X-rays based CT. Probably veins appear because of a contrast agent injection. For soft tissues like the brain it will be still be required to use MRI.

Anyway it is really easy to work with these images. Nothing to do with the normal x-rays plaques.
