Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside – Have You Ever Had a Cat Scan? (HINT: CLICK HERE)

C-T Scan of Lungs: 3 Dimensional Shaded Surface Display (3D SSD):  full opacity shown in the left panel and

reduced opacity (30%) as shown in the right panel to better visualize the interior of the organ(s).

3D SSD: blending of each lung following segmentation, transparent.

(An opacity table is applied to the results so that surfaces from internal features can also be visualized.)

This is one application of nuclear imagining utilizing the C-T scan.
