RSNA to show x-ray 'nature scenes' by Dutch medical physicist

What happens if you combine x-rays, creatures large and small, and a diorama? You get a "biorama," as Dutch medical physicist and artist Arie van 't Riet, PhD, has termed his images. His artwork will be shown at the upcoming RSNA 2014 annual meeting in Chicago.

Dinosaur vertebra fossil rises up in 3D from CT data

Noninvasive imaging techniques have long proved valuable for digging up the stories of fossils without damaging them. In a new study published online in Radiology, German researchers have gone a step further, making a carbon copy of a dinosaur vertebra using CT data and 3D printing.

Hand x-ray art project gets slap on the wrist

It seems that art and science do not always mix, at least according to the French Nuclear Safety Authority. Triggered by an art exhibit involving roughly 100 hand radiographs, the agency served a reminder to those involved and the general public that x-ray scans for artistic purposes are considered unlawful.

Artist uses hand x-rays to grasp meaning behind scans

Do x-rays make the personal impersonal, stripping out our humanity to examine our inner structures? If so, French artist Marc Ferrante has perhaps recaptured it. Collaborating with puppeteers and other hand artists, he's created a collection of approximately 100 hand radiographs, exploring "whether life can be breathed into these images."

Fashion meets science in x-ray-inspired clothing design

We don't necessarily think high fashion when picturing radiology -- more like lab coats and lead aprons. But London-based radiographer-turned-designer Brooke Roberts has bridged the two worlds with her clothing line that draws upon medical imaging for inspiration.

Optical imaging deciphers truth within oil painting layers

How can the hidden past of artwork be revealed without damaging the creation itself? Since 2003, researchers in Poland have been looking to optical coherence tomography for answers, using the technology to detect suspected forgeries in paintings and unearth hidden inscriptions, among other applications.
