CT brain ( The JC sign ).

I have examined some medical pareidolia (where meaningful significance is extracted from vague and random stimulus), in The Scrotum from Mars….well here are some CT brain scans that also seem to display a familiar image.

I cannot vouch that these have not been ‘Photoshopped’ or altered, but I would not be the least bit surprised if they have not. For the very object being scanned has a propensity to search out some structure and meaning in the universe it perceives.

 

 

Let me know if you come across any other examples of medical pareidolia.

No more medicare, user pays, just like in the U.S. Also an excuse to import foreigners, give them citizinship, then use there citizinship to increase Australia’s international debt borrowing. No, you won’t read that...

    • Rachel said: I agree with you Fabbia. No matter how much we try to be good at educating our patients, at the end it is still up to the patient’s decision whether to follow what we have said or not. On our side, at least we know we have given whats the best for them. We can’t touch every patient’s lives always.
