    What do you mean against their will? Did you ask them politely?

    Hats off to all these people keeping everything under control and helping these creatures. I cannot imagine how pissed off that lion or tiger would be if they woke up in the middle of a giant metal donut that makes tons of noise. I mean that takes a lot of courage. Most I will volunteer for is the bird, the fluffy burrito, and maybe the hedgehog. Pretty much anything that won’t eat me.

    The crossovers between veterinary medicine and pediatric medicine are a lot more significant than most people like to think about. The Venn diagram isn’t a perfect circle…but it’s close.

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

    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.

      Depends what imaging technique they’re using. X-ray CT might work ok with a little water in the way. Nuclear magnetic resonance might not be so good.

      MRT machines are much larger than the devices shown here.

    Did you take these pictures, or could mention their source? I want to make sure the author(same) get credit.

      Got no serious answer, so here are some results based on reverse image search:

      Dear, @fossilesque@mander.xyz please credit the authors and/or sources of the picture you’re posting. Those most likely aren’t public domain, meaning credit is required (and possibly more). Also citing the source provide interesting background on the pictures.

    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

    • janus2@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      i got a CT scan once and am a dumbass so the doctors and technicians might as well have been a superintelligent race

      however instead of a treat i got a giant medical bill >:(

    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.

      Obviously we should have bigger radiology machines. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to have them where you have a substantial fat population.

        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

    • philpo@feddit.org ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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?

      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.

    Oh man I feel bad for thr intubated ones

    source
    • medgremlin@midwest.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      They’re probably having a better time than the ones that aren’t intubated. The intubation is to make sure they’re still breathing while they’re anesthetized. The ones without tubes are just awake and angry/scared.
