I got my first-ever cat scan last week and as it was being reviewed I asked why they aren’t in color and got this funny look. Hello????

Re: “Go in, lie down, scanner runs, and complete summary comes out.”

Roger that, petro.

And while you're at it, the summary should include an AI diagnosis and prognosis based on 50,000 similar scans.

Then, if necessary, feed the information into a robotic surgical unit.

Bottom Line...

I truly hate America's human-based medical care system.

More robots. More AI.

And a hospice robot that looks like Natalie Portman when it's time for me to clock out!

.
The “color” x-ray was developed for airline baggage scanning. Each color represents a different type of material. (density)

More amazing technology.
I was at the dentist and they have a MRI machine that takes detail images of your skull, just the the part where your teeth are. The dentist says they are not interested in the rest..... They also have a laser that detects decay, you hear a sound like what a metal detector emits.

They also have a intraoral camera that takes many photos of your teeth and mouth then combines all photos in near realtime into a 3d image that can be then rotated. They used a laptop from Alienware. My bad teeth paid for it all!

This beats biting down on a bullet and drinking whiskey for the pain.

Yes, but you have to hold the monitor steady so it won’t vibrate or it’s all out of focus.....................

Still, though, details are scant.

Until the patent applications are approved..................
