Computed Tomography (CT) imaging, also known as "CAT scanning" (Computed Axial Tomography), was developed in the early to mid 1970s and is now available at over 30,000 locations throughout the world. CT is fast, patient friendly and has the unique ability to image a combination of soft tissue, bone, and blood vessels. CT is the workhorse imaging system in most busy radiology departments and diagnostic centers. Since its invention some 25 years ago, CT imaging has seen massive advances in technology and clinical performance. Today CT enables the diagnosis of a wider array of illness and injury than ever before!

Overly bright area on counter is distracting. But soft focus on machine makes it seem less scary.

Could be sharper and part of subject missing. Theme is right on.

Does meet challenge. Pretty good "stock" shot though it might have needed a bit more light on the face of the machine.

It fits the theme, but seems a little fuzzy.

Good idea and it certainly is progress, but the photo just doesn't do anything to me. I'm a physician but otherwise wouldn't know what it was without the caption.

First I thought was this should be an advertising picture or in some hospital catalog. Great shot.

great idea.. but i want more from this picture

Lacks a wow factor or story to tell in my opinion.

I like the concept and the CAT scan machine, however the light in the back of the room kills this image for me.
