How long does something need to stay still for a CT scan and can you send water through, just thinking about aquatic animals if you could just send the tank through.
Looking at my axolotl who can happily sit there not moving for hours in the hope of ambushing prey, staying still should be easy enough.

On OkCupid, I once briefly courted a woman with the username “RazeTgeAxolotl.” One of my opening questions

This feels like the equivalent of getting abducted by a superintelligent alien race, being put into a machine beyond your wildest comprehension, and then probably getting a treat and sent back home where nobody will believe you

Ok, now do animals being tortured and murdered against their will. Much much bigger photoset.

That one made me laugh as well. I never knew they had such… unflattering (yet flat!) bodies.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 15 hours ago
funny sad fact, if a person weigh 600 or more lbs, they sometimes have to use xrays/ct/mri in the zoos that are meant for larger animals.

No shit, I once had the chance to accompany a patient to an large aninmal hospital for an MRI.
The problem: It was so far away that the patient needed to be airlifted. Which was far beyond the capacity of regular HEMS. So they called in the military and they send a fucking CH-53 cargo helicopter. These things are huge and loud. But cool.
That was one interesting ride. Somewhat embarrassing for the patient (who was not in on weight level due to simply eating too much - patient had a massive and life altering orphan hormonal disease) but patient kept somewhat good spirits and the volunteer fire brigade did a good job blocking the view.

Does a larger MRI produce more data than a smaller one (same data density over a larger volume), or is it the same resolution spread out over a larger space?
toynbee@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
This happened in Scrubs.

Obviously we should have bigger radiology machines. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to have them where you have a substantial fat population.
Brandonazz@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
It would probably be wiser to focus on healthcare access and nutrition than to make extremely expensive and already large pieces of equipment triple size as standard when alternatives already exist.

And for multiperson scanning of compatible patients in a dramatically more cancerous pandemic-affected modern cohort with dwindling hospital infrastructure! ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

I had a patient tell me he had to go to a zoo for an MRI. I thought it was a self deprecating joke but he was serious.

Thanks for sharing. How does the fish one work? The dolphin I get because it breathes oxygen, but don’t all fish have gills? I feel like it should be in the water.
BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 hours ago
Somehow I don’t think the fish consented to this…

Some of those seem to have consented after being forced to.
ameancow@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
I hate to read any post on the internet that involves both the words “animal” and “consent.”
Human beings are inexplicable, contradictory species that don’t know how to view the world through anything other than our momentary feelings about things, and the universe suffers for it.

I wouldn’t want to be the one to have to intubate those animals.
philpo@feddit.org 7 hours ago
Actually most of them (according to a friend who works for a large animal hospital and has some human EMS background) are intubated far easier than humans - and they place a “hand safer” device (if you’re old enough to remember the “plastic screw device”-I don’t actually remember the actual name- used to open a seizure patients jaw that were once used, they are similar).
Back in my training day we used cats to practice neonatal intubation.

Why couldn’t that bird get a sleeping bag like the hamster did? Seems a bit drastic taping it down by the neck
sirnuke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 hours ago
The bird is for a normal x-ray. Here’s the context.
CT scans take much longer, but an x-ray is just a few seconds. I think it’s just a practical way to get the bird in place for a quick x-ray, and by practical I mean the vet techs minimize their (very real) risk of being murdered.

Some animals don’t do well on their back. It can interfere with breathing.

One of the most difficult parts of veterinary medicine is the fact that your patients can’t directly communicate. Luckily, the vet knew this hedgehog had something wrong, because it kept exploding into a bunch of golden rings.
