Greetings, obligatory welcome message. Electrical Engineer from Australia currently working in medical imaging repairing CT, MRI and such. Old musician with tons of audio experience on the technical and performance side. Cheers
Welcome to diyAudio.
Amazing machines those. My vascular surgeon has a scan taken of me each year. Turns out i am allergic to the CT-Scan dye, so only MRIs now. The last 2 were interetsing in that the one at one hospital remonded me of an Iron Lung, but at the other hospital they had a brand new Seimans that was way slicker looking.
The doc & i were specualting on how long before those are hand scanners.

Thank you all for the welcome.
Dave of Planet10 - Of all the tech I've worked on (and there has beena LOT), MRI is by far the closest thing to magic there is. Astonishing machines. As for hand scanning maybe yes for some applications, but medical is a very slow moving beast. Beware MRI also sometimes uses dye (very different stuff though) so be sure to mention you are allergic to CT contrast 😉

Between my last post and this, my next MRI appointment came…
The magnetics in MRI machines aere quite amazing, and my doc says the software keeps getting better & better.
Related tech in Tokamaks and some ways down the road we may see the future of this tech applied to loudspeakers.
The dye is different so i am OK.
The first time syptomswere noticed from CT i lost my entire epidermis over 3 or 4 days. Likened by those who had to clean up like a snowstorm.

I was in hospital at the time, it didn’t bother me, drove the nurses crazy.
The next one, since the first one was thot to be caused by cypro, i ended up 4 days later in emergency blown uplike a balloon. That one hurt.
