Got my CAT scan results this morning.

Actually, they were the results of a COIN scan gone horribly wrong, when I got some unexpected "assistance".

You've seen the reverse, or "tails" side (though the tail itself ain't in the picture).

This is the obverse. ("Heads".)

Hope you never have to worry about the results of a real cat scan.

lordmarcovan

Me too.

What a bizzarre species. My own cat sheds on everything. Nothing I own is without kitty hair.

That's the cat's azz.

That whole CAT thing is the reason we now call them CT scans, too many people calling the local radiology dept asking to have tiddles scanned

Cat's in the box. What is it with cats and boxes. I put a box on the floor ANY size box and my cats are fighting to see who gets in first.


Bob

Lord M ! I found a piece of silver in one of your grab bags...

Bob

There's some microchip in their brain that makes 'em love boxes and bags so much.

Oh, do tell, Bob! What did you get? I've been eagerly waiting to see who got what in the "Mystery Bags".

It was an itsy bitsy tienie wienie 1907 Canadian nickel...

Never new they were that small !

The wheat cents were in very nice condition also..

Bob

lordmarcovan

Ah, a "fishscale". Silver five cent piece. No nickel in it! I put some of those in the bags, and one or two Newfoundland silver 5c/10c pieces, as well, as I recall.

Looks like you hit a good bag. I'm glad.

So ... now that you have had the cat scan ... when is the lab report due?!?



Sorry ... couldn't resist ...

cats and boxes - it is in a cat's innate nature to need to feel protected and safe, hence they will always try to get into something that affords them protection from any side that they cannot defense (i.e. see). they also like to climb to the highest spot in any given area like a room because they are also natural ambush hunters and having the 'high-ground' gives them the advantage.

No seriously! The A in the middle of CAT stands for Axial if you are talking about a scan. It was originally dropped to avoid confusion with the animal but now other methods of scanning are available (helical) so CT fits better anyway.

Funny LordM!


"CAT" in CAT Scan refers to "Computed Axial Tomography", for those who were just dying to know. When CAT Scanners first came out, they just imaged the body in one plane, Axial (or Horizontal). The images taken looked as if you were looking at a Hillshire Farm's Summer Sausage from the end and slicing it in rounds starting from one end and going to the other end, removing each slice as you cut it. That is the Axial Plane of the sausage. Now, the CT Scanner still scans in the axial plane, but reformats the images as to view them from the side and from the top. Sagittal and Coronal planes. Thus, you can technically have a CT Scan without really having a CAT Scan, but who cares huh?


Yeah, I know, more than you wanted to hear probably.....but that's what I do.
