Philips exposes your body

Edvarcl Heng  |  Nov 29, 2007

There are lots of wonderful cameras out there that can shoot beautiful portrait shots or even a nice sharp macro of a not-too-sharp snout.

But a head shot of your brain?

Philips Medical Systems has announced the Brilliance Computerized Tomography (CT) scanner which is capable of scanning the body with a series of 256 X-ray pulses every 0.3 second. In layman speak, that means this million-dollar scanner can produce a high-resolution, three-dimensional image of a beating heart complete with detailed blood vessels and valves… all within two heart beats.
