OriginalCT scan with volume rendering of a woman who was pregnant at 37 weeks.
Reason
*The acquisition of an image like this depends on a series of unlikely events. First, the pregnancy was relatively late, making the baby's anatomy more clear. Second, the woman had to be in an accident serious enough to warrant a CT without radiation dose reduction (which would be of much lower quality, and in this case it was a high speed traffic accident). At the same time, the woman did not have any visible physical damage, thereby allowing for an image of normal anatomy (and getting her written consent for its online publication).
  • Several processing steps in order to make a rotating gif image from CT data. However, I do not know how to remove the "FLP" and cube at the bottom.
  • Although there's a larger version, that one is too big to be animated in the wiki.

  • Support - Top EV, indeed. (I actually thought of the radiation risk before reading the info...) --Janke | Talk 21:33, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support – though shouldn't we feature the highest resolution version, with a note that the lower resolution version needs to be used for thumbnail use in articles for technical reasons? (But that seems a technical question, the content is the same.) TSP (talk) 12:13, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
To me, it seems counter-intuitive for Wikipedia to feature a version that it cannot properly display. Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:51, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Imagine if we could support some modern video and animation formats. How cool would that be? JJ Harrison (talk) 06:39, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
