MOC: Lego tomography

[Kubik-Rubik]

Lego tomography

May be you know the Lego CT on Flickr…

But today I want to present for you my lego tomography

This is classical doctors near a classical CT

Tomography is imaging by sections or sectioning, through the use of wave of energy.

This is a tomograph – the device which used in tomography tomograph

The real procedure of recieving data about inner structure of humans's body

This is a real tomogram

And how about legocity hospital? Let's see…

All right!

Lets's go!

The data was obtain…

Bye-bye!

Legomedical technology… To be continued…

This is taking the LEGO hospital into the 21st century in a heartbeat.

Looking good. But where is the tomograph of the minifig patient? That would be fun to see.

Thank you ^_^

I think you see it

Nice work! Just needs a control room: the operators wouldn't stay in the room while the CT scanner is on - too much exposure to X rays.

Not many of the patients going through the CT scanner where I work have auch a big smile on their faces.

Nice. The doctor looks familiar.

G'day 'Kubik-Rubik' nice scanner !

But it does not really look like the picture of real one, but it does look like if it's for a field hospital in a war or disaster zone - smaller than a real large hospital one but just right to be transported to a danger zone.

Now you might have got me thinking about making one too - hmm, a blood test and xray/scan medical office - there are a few of those around !

Oh, by the way I love the x-ray of the minifig, gee heaps of radiation even the scan got in to the picture as well !

Like to see if you'll come up with some other medical equipment - great work 'Kubik-Rubik' and I'm a conformist! !

Good job! Look like the real one!

Very clever KR. It's always nice to see medical-related creations, not often built by LEGO fans. I think we need a LEGO Modular Hospital for placement of this and other well-needed medical equipment. What set is the plain white torso from? It worked well for the Rad Tech/assistant.

Front-paged!

Who needs a tomogram, when there is body scanning (without dangerous rays)?

Joking aside, very cleverly done, Kubik-Rubik!

I love the realistic story you have told with your photos.

Tomography is imaging by sections or sectioning, through the use of wave of energy.

Addition to that: Plain "tomography" is just a technical term for an image "cutted through" the body (in contrast to an X-ray photo, which is always a projection of all super-imposed structures).

The most common use of tomographies is

a) conventional X-ray tomography

b) CT (computer tomography, to say it simplified: a lot of X-rays tomographies calculated in one bigger picture)

c) MRI (magnet resonance imaging, a complete different story, without any X-rays, made by the spin of atomic nuclei (you posted an example for that))

EDIT: I forgot

d) PET (positron emission tomography, even more complicated than all the three before )

Nice moc.

I looked in your Flickr and I found the Pink version with eyes also very nice.

I love it!

I'm a radiologist, and have toyed with the idea of doing something similar. I especially like the way a stretcher fits through the bore. It may not be the way we humans go through, but it works super well in LEGO, and solves the difficult problem of building a moving table onto the unit itself.

Well done!

thanks Holodoc for sharing pic here....
