In September , Florida ’s West Kendall Baptist Hospital get a very nerveless ( and very important ) fresh tool : The very first“superfast ” body scannerdesigned by scientist at GE . The squad at West Kendall just wrapped up a study of the machine — and the images and GIFs that result are wild .
The last time we save about the organic structure scanner , it was to excuse how it manages to outpace traditional CT scanners . Unlike conventional machines , GE ’s fresh Revolution CT uses something along the lines of an image stabiliser — a moment like the one on any compact photographic camera — to even out for movement within the torso during the scan . AsAndy Tarantola explainedat the time , Revolution ’s not only able to read quicker , but it ’s able to scan far more accurately , capturing crystal - clear image of , uh , jumpy organs like the heart .

“ The advanced design decidedly makes for a less intimidating , more well-to-do affected role experience , while yielding amazingly accurate and elaborate images , ” says the CEO of West Kendall , the Revolution ’s first psychometric test hospital . On the tail of their study of the machine , West Kendall and GE have relinquish some of the prototype it produced , ranging from an ankle to a fondness to the actual complex body part of rake vessels inside the mastermind . It ’s gruelling to reconcile the fact that these scan wait more like 3D animations from a medical show than real , honest - to - god images yield from human body . Check ’em out . [ GE ]
