If that's a brain it belongs to the elephant man...
Those are lungs seen top down. Those white ovals around the left and right sides sorta hugging the black areas are ribs, the white arrow shape is a vertebrae the hole in it for the spinal cord.
I'm not a rad tech or doctor but I'm 99% sure.
It’s a transverse section so it’s not really ‘top down’ or ‘bottom up’. It’s a thin slice where the densities of the tissue is calculated by sending through X-rays from around the body and measuring how much gets trough from each angle and then letting a computer do some fancy math.
Top down is easier to explain to people then transverse so I said top down instead.
Well, it could be bottom up...
Could have been side on and fancy math
Correct, and I could have used bottom up as the analogy as well, I just think to down since that's the way they go through ct's and mris when I get them done.
My mom had me when I was young and I helped her study when she went back to college for Radiology. I thought this was some really weird joke or something... like she is so dumb she is telling her doctor that it's a brain scan image.
Jeez I need to get some more sleep.
my mom had me when i was young, too
hope you had a good rest
Is a rad tech a fancy name for a plumber?
No just a radical technician.
