THE PROJECT
Since the summer of 2007, the Radiology Art project has been underway. This is a project dedicated to the deeper visualization of various objects that hold unique cultural importance in modern society. So far, these objects have included toys, convenience-related foods, and personal electronics.
METHODS
Scans are acquired as DICOM images using a GE CT scanner, then processed in Osirix software on a Macintosh iMac computer. Colors are assigned based on the varying densities of materials present throughout the object. Depending on the spread of densities within a particular subject, black or white backgrounds are chosen. Images are further processed in Adobe Photoshop for proper contrast and balance.
GET YOUR OWN PRINTS
High resolution prints are available of all images designated by "ss" after the imaging date. Please email
for information.
COLLABORATE
You are invited to participate! There are two ways to get involved with the Radiology Art project:
1. Submit your own radiological art for review. Simply email a small image no larger than 500 pixels on a side to
for approval.
2.
If you have an object you'd like scanned that would be appropriate for the project (i.e. toward the pursuit of scientific and artistic knowledge), you are encouraged to share. Email your project ideas to
for discussion.
