NSFW X-Ray pinup calendar, or is it?
Following up on the X-Ray yoga post (http://goo.gl/nSpDZ) from #ScienceSunday. Here are some fantastic images from a brilliant ad campaign for EIZO. EIZO makes high-end monitors, often targeted to the medical imaging community. These images are actually CGI (computer generated images) so I say they are SFW. Regardless if you think they are inappropriate or not, they are well done and it was a successful advertising stunt. More about the story at WIRED (http://goo.gl/inm9). Also a refresher on what real CT is: CT 101 (http://goo.gl/GZf0q)

Looks like this was accidentally shared to “All circles”. Sorry about the unintended notification.
fMRI doesn’t have high enough resolution. It would be more like Rorschach porn.
Relative to CT, it is.
Well… no implants, but no wonder she’s on her knees – isn’t that a kidney stone stuck in her left ureter? ;0)
Do you have a bone to pick Peter?
“Boner, Peter Lindelauf? I don’t even know her!”
Like that?
Er, yes Peter Lindelauf – you do that. But on Facebook! Heh…
i’m a student of biology…
so i like this photo of you
Rahul gharaadia these are CGI, computer generated. There is no “you”.
Pretty sure you’re being you-know-whatted there, Chad Haney. Wan chat etc. You’re a real G+ celebrity now…
Yes but obvious gender confusion is a whole other type of RAJEEV.
True Peter.
But at least you can fairly say, “It happens to men too,” Chad Haney. Just know when and where to use that… ;D
For some crazy reason it happens to me more than my other male G+ friends.
goodnight Feisal Kamil
I like her shoes 🙂
It’s a matter of priorities; the shoes were the first thing that caught my eye 😀
Same here Rajini Rao 😉
Great post Chad Haney but..sorry i laughed so much :p
As long as you enjoy it Kawthar AL ABDALLA
no seriously..i’m amazed how things turn out here every time 😀
sheeesh..don’t tell anyone i almost tagged that guy above instead of RajiniChad Haney :pLOL Kawthar AL ABDALLA no offense but he might not see your beauty if he’s chatting up the wrong gender.
Exactly!! that’s what i was laughing at!! 😀
sorry again! :p
BTW, HOW R U Kawthar AL ABDALLA DO YOU LIKE SEXY TIME CHAT?
Stop it, i can’t laugh anymore!! 😀
It’s the grinning skull part that generally makes me back up a step or two…
For the shoe-fetish types. http://goo.gl/flhxf
BTW now that I’m home I actually looked at the full album…at the patisserie I just saw the first one which is innocuous while small. 🙂
wow, more sexual images of women, and lets disguise it as science shall we?
It’s tech, not science Liz Quilty Since they are CGI, I bet they could make a male version.
I wouldnt call it tech either really ,the science was referring to the science hashtags added.
Whilst they could make a male version, they didn’t, and that is pretty much the crux of it. They only used females, and only in sexual style positions.
I’m not seeing anything technical or scientific about it, Shrek is more technical/scientific and definitely better CGI 😛
It was a successful marketing strategy. For me, the science is, is it possible to use CGI to create reasonable CT images. Your point is well taken though. Kimberly Chapman can vouch for me in terms of supporting gender issues.
Chad Haney Don’t play with the X-ray machines on the pretty nurses night time.
I actually think this is very clever. Not only because of what they have done with CGI and how, but because it forces us to ask some pretty fundamental questions about who we are: our gender-identity and even our species-identity. Is it exploitation of women if no women were used to make it? Is it somehow sacrilege to copy the human form and render an idealised version of it in pixels? Apparently it’s illegal in Australia to own CGI child-porn, and there’s some good reasoning on both sides of that debate.
It’s also pretty clear that with the advancement of technology, the boundary between human and machine gets increasingly fuzzy, and the questions get correspondingly harder to answer. We’re headed for a future for which we are ill-prepared, emotionally. What happens when the advancement of AI produces sex toys which are conscious? Where does marketing end and exploitation begin?
The raison d’etre of art is to make us think, and these images certainly do it for me. Make me think, I meant. Sheesh. 🙂
Chris McClelland I post silly stuff and some photographs (mostly my dog) but my serious posts are about science. Posts that make people think and discuss their ideas are exactly why I’m on G+. So thanks for stopping by and thinking about this post.
You know clever works, explaining this to the Army however, is of- two places at one time. Yes there is such a thing as a lawyer’s science.
Sorry Jerry Kirsch, this is an old post and I’m not sure what the Army and lawyers have to do with this post.
So sexy
