Kubik-Rubik Posted March 12, 2010 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 [/url] And how about legocity hospital? Let's see… All right! Lets's go! The data was obtain… Bye-bye! Legomedical technology… To be continued… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
L-space Posted March 12, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be fun to see. I think you see it Edited March 12, 2010 by Kubik-Rubik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rufus Posted March 12, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_spock Posted March 12, 2010 Nice. The doctor looks familiar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightningtiger Posted March 12, 2010 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! ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benny Posted March 13, 2010 Good job! Look like the real one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WesternOutlaw Posted March 13, 2010 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!

Holodoc Posted March 13, 2010 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 ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wout Posted March 13, 2010 Nice moc. I looked in your Flickr and I found the Pink version with eyes also very nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no_skill Posted March 14, 2010 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!
