And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A CT Scanner (Computerised Tomography) with its outer panels removed.
The equipment inside the gantry....spins at more than one rotation per second and acquires as many as 256 images at a resolution of 1024 squared for each rotation. A typical scan of an abdomen can acquire over a thousand images in less than 8 seconds. And all those images are processed and available for review within a few seconds of acquisition. And people wonder why the cost of a CT scan is so high.
I’ve been on the ride over a hundred times at MD Anderson. The contrast feels like a shoot of tequila in you veins, but with out the pleasant after effect.
