I don't think safety glasses would have helped here. Or a hard hat!

Geez, and I thought getting snagged by a fish hook hurt.

A truck carrying copies of Roget's Thesaurus over-turned on the
highway. The local newspaper reported that the onlookers were
"stunned, overwhelmed, astonished, bewildered, and dumfounded."

Are you certain those pix are for real? Any metal in a CT causes
artifacts in the image (even some fillings will do it) A huge steel hook?

those look like x-rays to me. not sure why you thought they were CT scans

Those looked like coronal "scout scans" rather than a CT slice which would be
an axial (horizontal on a standing person) slice, so the artifact you'd expect
won't be there - it's a straight x-ray at that point, no reconstruction
involved.

Yes, but the pics in the article are made by a CT scanner in straight x-ray
mode. So, you're both right.

Ok Dave, you're probably right, I thought they were MIPs when I looked
at them first, but scouts would make sense.

But do you think they are genuine?

Yup.

Hard to say. It'd take all of 2 minutes to photoshop up something
like that. If you want to see some amazing photoshop contests,
check out fark.com (warning: HUGE time wasting potential at that
site). They have one or two photoshop contests a day, and there are
some seriously talented folks there. Something as trivial as this
would be very simple indeed.
