Interesting.

Did you take these pictures, or could you mention their source? I want to make sure the author(s) get credit.

Got no serious answer, so here are some results based on reverse image search:

  1. Rhinoceros. Credit: Chicago Zoological Society. Possible source: Black Rhinoceros Undergoes Portable CT Scan At Brookfield Zoo

  2. Bear. Credit: Kimberly Fornek / Pioneer Press. Possible source: Brookfield Zoo CT scan

  3. Humsters. Credit: unknown.

  4. Alligator. Credit: UF College of Veterinary Medicine. Possible source: Massive sick alligator given CT scan at University of Florida

Feel free to add more in your replies if you have time to search.

Dear, @[email protected] please credit the authors and/or sources of the picture you're posting. Those most likely aren't public domain, meaning credit is required (and possibly more). Also citing the source provide interesting background on the pictures.

I have a feeling, most of those are MRT and not CT

MRT machines are much larger than the devices shown here.

A... giraffe? Are they alive?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Yeah, they’re usually found in the grasslands of Africa and a few other places in the world in addition to zoos and such.
