Ja, he will know where this is leading to.
Firstly, let me give you a link to the equipment that is involved:
http://www.medical.philips.com/main/products/ct/products/brilliance/64_channel/technical/
It isn't top of the range, but it is a very good scanner. It has a 64 channel detector, each channel being able to resolve .625mm 'slices.'
We have one of these at the hospital. I was asked to investigate two requests by the radiologists:
1) Feasibility of storing all the .625mm slices on our PACS network.
2) Remote access to those slices (so he can view those from home).
Well, if I test it I can't use actual patient data. I have to use test data, because of patient confidentiality and the way I will handle the data.
So here I am thinking "What can I get them to scan? Something inanimate, big enough to require around 1000 slices?"
Hmmm, didn't Cass make a suggestion many moons ago?
To be continued...

First three guys to guess what this is, get a special prize.

It's an A500 for sure...
-Edit- with a battry backup clock on Ram card!
-Edit- Perhaps a Rev6A, type 1... noticing the resistor patched by Denise /CIA...
-
What did I win!!!! :-x

A voucher for a free X-Ray?

Well, I suppose it could be an A500+
(if the filename isn't giving it away)

It's not a 500+ because it doesn't have battery backed up clock on the motherboard.
-Edit- Also the left shift key is the long type... the 500+ had the short type... damn... I'm boring... :roll:

Dunno remember ...

It`s more about s/w and data processing, so you must know how to program such an application and the way the data is processed (you need documentation here)
Well, if I test it I can't use actual patient data. I have to use test data, because of patient confidentiality and the way I will handle the data.
You could use bogus data, if you only want to see if you can store them to another remote storage device, and have access to it. In case you need to test real CT-scans, you may design a "double blind" study by masking the patient personal data.
P.S. Nice pic ;-)

Okay, Bloodline won. I'll count him and his sock as two people. Cass is number 3.
I don't know about the revision number, but it is indeed an A500 with a trapdoor RAM expansion and battery.
What did they win? Nothing valuable, just something rare: cross-sectional imaging of the aforementioned A500. Sorry it is too big to post here because it is DICOM imaging.
I'll post one or two slices later (there are more than 1000). The image above is only a planning or scout view of the A500 before it was scanned.

@ Cass

Or I just scan an A500 ;-)

WooHoo! I won!!! In your face everyone!!! I am god of Amiga!!! Go Matt, go Matt... it's your birthday... :crazy:

Open it up, I'm pretty sure it's a Rev6!!!
-
I'm not opening it, because I have already packed it away.
However, you will be able to confirm whether it is a Revision 6 when you see the scan. The slices are sub-millimetre.

Woohoo!!!! I can't wait to trawl though them to prove I'm right!!!
-Edit- cough... or wrong obviously...
-
Oh, he doesn't want the scan? I suppose you have better things to do than download a 400mb file, to be honest.
No probs.

If you ask him nicely,I'm sure x-ray could get his hands on an endoscope instead :-o
-
Actually my ex was an endoscopy nurse. They would tops and tails, but we only X-rayed the tops.
She once took a photo of herself with the scope (her face, guys, her face!) and it came out quite strange because of the lens system it has.
-
Kinky!

:-o Blimey, she must have shoved it a long way up there to accomplish that!

:lol:
She'd have a long way to go to find my tonsils.
They're in a jar in Colchester General Hospital.

I'm still waiting for my prize for identifying this (http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=2006). Last time I enter one of X-rays competition :-x :lol:
-
Hehe
Alright, I'll make an exception and announce you second place winner, instead of Bloodline's sock :-P
