Inside Insides: 2010

Reactions...?

Ahoy internet!
Many thanks to your comments of approval, I'm very glad people like what they see.
I'm asking for a tiny favor. If you feel so inclined, I would be for ever appreciative.
Please comment about one of the scans you've seen and describe briefly what it reminded you of / made you think of/ feel like. I believe people see tons and tons of different things in the complexities of some of the scans and I'd love to hear what they are. Thats all...many many many thanks. I'll keep you all appraised as to what I decide to do with this information.

Cheers-
Andy

Bell pepper again, better this time

If you've ever cooked meals with Bell Peppers, odds are you've come across a weird little parasitic twin growing inside the pepper. Well as luck would have it, I managed to image one of those peppers, and we can see the strange little growth. After a little research I can't seem to find it being referred to as anything. If anyone knows what it is called please let me know.

FOLLOW UP:
I extracted the 'strange thing' from inside the Pepper and did a high resolution scan of it...it's still strange.

I have Raspberries, Strawberries and Star fruit coming up...

Persimmon

Onion

If you look closely you can see a brightening in the scan in one corner of the onion. This is what a bruise looks like in MR.

Spaghetti Squash

at the beginning, I made the slices go slower so you can see the "Spaghetti" parts of the squash inside the pulp...see them?

I also ran some DTI and made some cool looking renders.

Then I cut open the squash and put a lime inside...yeah, I don't know what I was really expecting on that one...quirky I suppose.

MRI of drinking

My Apologies, I haven't had time to get any new fruits/veggies, so I thought I'd post this MRI animation of me swallowing powerade...gatorade, some sports drink. (contains manganese, acts as an MRI contrast)
