One for Cass

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.

[X-ray]

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

"...In case you need to test real CT-scans, you may design a "double blind" study by masking the patient personal data..."
-----------------------------------------------------------

Or I just scan an A500  ;-)

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.

[X-ray]

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.

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.

Hehe

Alright, I'll make an exception and announce you second place winner, instead of Bloodline's sock  :-P
