You shouldn't do it for fun. X-rays are cancerogenic, but cancer doesn't come in a day and because of a single exposure. If they were fixing it, at least they should wear Pb vest. Don't promote this kind of silliness.

ct scan cause cancer type ct scan cuase cancer on youtube.com it will prove me right ct scant are dangerous the more u use it the earlier u die that a fact
@samantha34ize I agree with @failednewyears. first of all, learn to speak English because there is no way I can understand you. Anyways, you are so full of shit its not even funny. "2 million gram rad more than x ray". wtf are you talking about?! Radiation is not measured in grams dumbass, and an average person gets 0.37 rem from the sun a year, you get 0.5 from a CT scan . Can it cause cancer? yeah, everything 'can' but its very unlikely. if you have a choice though, I agree, use an MRI...
usa patient r the most radiatted ppl in the world ooh i sprain my ankle dr "we ll ct scan that " "ooooh i fall of a bike " dr " let ct scan that knee " our country dr crook are over using those ct scan i blame my mom and hating her consent dr for putting me into that death machine consent andi hav cancer lung cancer u fuking prick i nver smoke b 4
@samantha34ize no, we're not the "most radiated people". Seriously. Facts: learn them. And I'm the prick when you're the one lying about something like cancer? First you said you did now, then your mom used to, now both you and your mom do. You also claim your friend does, again from a scan. Do you live in Love Canal or smth? Also your recent youtube comments said you VISITED the US, not lived here.
study have shown dr are ordering ct alot we have the most radition inside our body compare to the world dr order alot of ct scan b cuz they own the machine greedy bastard ct contain 2 million gram rad more than x ray + a greedy dr order mak u do ct scan for u that no good use it a couple of time to find the cancer in stomach lung etc that ok use it to make money at patient expense that no good fire that dr now this dr had the nerv to put my mom a cancer recovery patient in to ct 8 more time
@samantha34ize i thought you had cancer, not that your mom used to have cancer. i'm also having a really hard time understanding you? when you say "we have the most radiation inside our body compared to the world" who is "we" and does "the world" include Ukraine/Belarus and Fukushima?
im not trying to put any scan tech out of bussiness but i have to tell ppl there is a possibilty u might get cancer ok type ct scan cause cancer in google . im also agaisnt dr over ordering this scum bag dr ct scan this kids cuz he fell turn out nothing is wrong but there will b radiation inside his head
@samantha34ize they warn you about the dose of radiation you get before you consent (sign the form) to it. it's not a secret. it's part of informed consent. i know radiation CAN cause cancer. it doesn't mean that it always DOES. you already have radiation inside of you even if you never have a CT scan.
@samantha34ize so are you saying it always causes cancer? even one? unfailingly? because a lot of things can cause cancer. the sun, for example. i've had 6-8x as many CTs as you and I have no malignancies. sometimes they're needed. how old are you really?
ct scan cause cancer it gave me cancer cuz mommy ct scan me when i was a kid plz parent use mri or have the kids stay overnight to b observe ct cuase cancer being in ct scan is like standing 2 mile a way from nuke blast it gave me cancer im 30
@samantha34ize That's a real shame Samantha. It's rare to scan a child because of the damage caused to developing cells, plus doses have gone down a hundred fold in the years since your scan. You're quite right, paeiatrics should be diagnosed by ultrasound or MRI before a CT scan is considered.
@samantha34ize Speaking as a malignancy-free 21 year old who has had upwards of 6 CTs of my *SKULL*, as a child into adulthood (yes, they were a necessary evil). you're full of shit and scare tactics. One CT scan does not cancer make. "Staying overnight" is not a diagnostic procedure. Also, what 30 year old says "mommy ct scan me"? Really?
@samantha34ize I really doubt it gave you cancer... Sitting in front of a TV for an Hour is about the same amount of radiation. So how much time do you sit in from of a TV a week? And Doing MRIs on small children you need to sedate them, Or else they move around and you dont get any useful images/info. also
@ThinkLearnSolve no radiation, and magnets don't do much to biological systems...people have levitated frogs before and the frogs were fine, though probably very confused...
When I look at something like is, I'm just like, "how the shit do you begin designing this??'' I mean, it makes me feel retarded when I had trouble on a biochem assignment. But can you imagine sitting at the roundtable designing something like this?? Where would you begin??
@itsanthonyhere This is a 4th generation scanner I think. It started with "translate-rotate" scanners and developed from there, so much design work and development over the last 40 years or so.
@Tuttle9955i This is actually a 3rd gen CT, a 4th would have a fixed detector ring around the outside of the gantry. These are pretty uncommon, 3rd gen represent the vast ajority of CT scanner available.
@Tuttle9955i This is actually a 3rd gen CT, a 4th would have a fixed detector ring around the outside of the gantry. These are pretty uncommon, 3rd gen represent the vast ajority of CT scanner available.
@itsanthonyhere Nope, no radiation while I was filming! Good MRI question. An MRI magnet is filled with liquid helium at around 4psi to maintain super-conductivity of its coils. Obviously it's well insulated from room temperature and kept cool by re-circulating the helium in a refrigeration unit called a "cold head". If the cold head stops working or if someone presses the "Emergency Vent" button on the wall, the helium boils off or "vents". It only takes 5 seconds and looks spectacular!
Nice, but I'm really interested how is it powered? Because it has to "eat" at least few hunderts watts. Some kind of rotary transformer around that frame? I somehow can't believe that it could be powerd by simple brush contact ...
@xm07 The rotating side of this gantry is powered by simple brush contacts, 6 brushes for each power line. The data coming back from the detector is transferred through an RF link separate from the slip rings.
Without radiation there is no mutation and therefore no evolution! But seriously, the best way of staging cancer treatment today is PET scanning, this involves injecting a 511keV beta emitter (FDG)... the world's gone mad!
@lolley1100 there ISN'T a magnetic field with a CT scanner just radiation whereas there is a huge magnetic field with an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
screw PET-CTs, maybe you should build a CT-washingmachine combo, with people being so scared of germs and wanting everything "sterile"... maybe replace all that stuff in the gantry with a nice hot caesiumchloride... Cs-137, of course. that'd surely be more environmental friendly than producing x-rays for an hour. :P
now that's something i'd want in my cellar, too. much cooler than watching a washing machine spinning clothes. how much power does it consume when spinning at full speed AND firing x-rays? :P
I think anyone who is about to get a CT-scan should see this. Everything is spinning at high speeds, and if something did go wrong and something broke loose, it would fly away from the machine because of centripetal force. Being inside of that thing seems like it would be the safest place to be when it is going.
im assuming its not firing X-rays or else it would fry the video camera?
im not trying to be a kill joy either (cause i find these medical scanners really interesting) but what exactly possessed you to open up your CT scanner and film it?
@lightningburn X-rays don't fry cameras, but the resulting image would be full of streaks and tears because of all the metal. Electronic equipment (like a mobile phone) is good for testing static xray equipment, they produce a pretty image! X-rays were most certainly off during filming!
Curiosity sometimes kills the cat, I stood well back and away from the sides to get this shot!
@pitball364able As Tuttle9955i pointed out, it's MRIs that attract metal objects (hint: M in MRI stands for magnetic), and CT scans with modern multiple detectors take just seconds to acquire, not minutes.
actually it is possible for us to taste it. ive been in CT scan a few times and tasted it. and its the same taste / smell as when I had radiation for my brain tumors we're sitting right there in the thing. and the taste is different from contrast. (i know that taste very well too because of ~45 MRI's and 4 stays in the ICU after brain surgery)
for me it smells like fireant killer and you get a nasty taste off it as well.
@lambchops822 I've been in one of these & a few MRI machines(more MRI to come) I would much rather do the MRI.Much better resolution & you're not bombarded with ionizing radiation.The average CT scan is equivalent to 800 chest X-rays. I will be avoiding CT in the future if at all possible.My CT showed nothing & looked like crap,my first MRI showed my brain tumor clear as day.
@Simp44 When I said beats an mri, I was referring to the sensation. As the mri gives off that terrible "coffin effect". But you are right. I think I might have a brain tumor and may need an mri. I still haven't gotten my stinking results back yet so I'm in the unknown.
@lambchops822 I see. I don't have a problem with tight spaces(we have allot of caves around here ; ) ) . I actually find it relaxing.I just get them to play me some jazz & I'm a happy camper.
Hope all works out for you. BRAIN TUMOR(duh duh duhhh) is a scary diagnosis but meh..."we have the technology". Be well & keep laughing!
@lambchops822 Oh & if you're wondering I have an acoustic neuroma or Vestibular schwannoma. Not as bad as it could be but the little sucker is pushing on my brain stem! Dealing with doctors can be very frustrating(over 5 years before anyone took me seriously) but stay on it. I'm lucky enough to live in Canada,sure wait times suck but I can get the surgery without becoming homeless.
@Simp44 Damn! Oh well last question. Can you get permanent brain damage from having a brain tumor for too long? Thanks for replying. I too might be waiting for a long time before I'm taken seriously.
Every time when I see a movie of such a thing first at high speed, and then slowing down. to stop... I expect al the stuff from the spinning ring... to drop down... just like a washing machine after the fast spin part
Computed tomography is awesome medical imaging method, but very horrifying for patients if they can see x-ray apparatus and detectors spinning around them.But I like it :) I love the electronic and principle of CT
(and MRI) imaging and I'm going to study it. Very interesting video!:)
i think CTs are more scary coz you actually see the thing spinning around. I had a head CT when i knocked myself out and yeah...was in that when the fire alarm went off and i jumped, not when your meant to lol.
actually my friend MDCT scanners do employ cone beam technology. Simply because we are using more dectectors to recieve the photons. Therefore the beam that comes down is in the shape of a cone.
You are far safer inside. Due to simple phyisic's. The mass of parts flying off if that were to happen would carry them away from the center of roation.
No.. An (M)agnetic (R)esonance (I)maging scanner has a magnet, is a lot longer in size and works differently! There is nothing "spinning" around you. This Machine is a "Computerised Tomogrophy scanner.....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I hate CT scanners i hate it when they talk 2 u i had 2 have my back checked out by 1 they creeped the hell out of me turns out i have 1 extra back bone
THAT IS AWSOME. If you check my channel out you will see that I AM OBCESSED with medical equipment. Do you still have access to that CT scan? I want more videos and BAAAADLY. Patient goes here hahahahahahahahaha."
i got a ct scan i can swear i knew when it was taking pics of my brainlol,every now and again i got a weird taste in my mouth and a weird sensation,probably all the radiation

@pitball364able You're welcome, they're pretty safe tough, made with military style standards. BTW, it's MRI that attracts chairs!!

@Tuttle9955i mris are even safer!

@pitball364able As Tuttle9955i pointed out, it's MRIs that attract metal objects (hint: M in MRI stands for magnetic), and CT scans with modern multiple detectors take just seconds to acquire, not minutes.

actually it is possible for us to taste it. ive been in CT scan a few times and tasted it. and its the same taste / smell as when I had radiation for my brain tumors we're sitting right there in the thing. and the taste is different from contrast. (i know that taste very well too because of ~45 MRI's and 4 stays in the ICU after brain surgery)
for me it smells like fireant killer and you get a nasty taste off it as well.

Fuck sake! Im going in one of those this coming tuesday. Beats being in an mri though.

@lambchops822 I've been in one of these & a few MRI machines(more MRI to come) I would much rather do the MRI.Much better resolution & you're not bombarded with ionizing radiation.The average CT scan is equivalent to 800 chest X-rays. I will be avoiding CT in the future if at all possible.My CT showed nothing & looked like crap,my first MRI showed my brain tumor clear as day.

@Simp44 When I said beats an mri, I was referring to the sensation. As the mri gives off that terrible "coffin effect". But you are right. I think I might have a brain tumor and may need an mri. I still haven't gotten my stinking results back yet so I'm in the unknown.

@lambchops822 I see. I don't have a problem with tight spaces(we have allot of caves around here ; ) ) . I actually find it relaxing.I just get them to play me some jazz & I'm a happy camper.
Hope all works out for you. BRAIN TUMOR(duh duh duhhh) is a scary diagnosis but meh..."we have the technology". Be well & keep laughing!

@lambchops822 Oh & if you're wondering I have an acoustic neuroma or Vestibular schwannoma. Not as bad as it could be but the little sucker is pushing on my brain stem! Dealing with doctors can be very frustrating(over 5 years before anyone took me seriously) but stay on it. I'm lucky enough to live in Canada,sure wait times suck but I can get the surgery without becoming homeless.

@Simp44 Damn! Oh well last question. Can you get permanent brain damage from having a brain tumor for too long? Thanks for replying. I too might be waiting for a long time before I'm taken seriously.

Every time when I see a movie of such a thing first at high speed, and then slowing down. to stop... I expect al the stuff from the spinning ring... to drop down... just like a washing machine after the fast spin part

Computed tomography is awesome medical imaging method, but very horrifying for patients if they can see x-ray apparatus and detectors spinning around them.But I like it :) I love the electronic and principle of CT
(and MRI) imaging and I'm going to study it. Very interesting video!:)

i think CTs are more scary coz you actually see the thing spinning around. I had a head CT when i knocked myself out and yeah...was in that when the fire alarm went off and i jumped, not when your meant to lol.

awesome.. fuck cone beam CTs

haha!
Tuttle9955i 2 years ago
actually my friend MDCT scanners do employ cone beam technology. Simply because we are using more dectectors to recieve the photons. Therefore the beam that comes down is in the shape of a cone.
tubevoyr 2 years ago
@603gts ///All current Multislice scanners shoot a cone beam. It is the only way to cover the entire detector array.

You're wrong... CT is emitting x-rays, it's the (A)MRI which uses magnets

No.. An (M)agnetic (R)esonance (I)maging scanner has a magnet, is a lot longer in size and works differently! There is nothing "spinning" around you. This Machine is a "Computerised Tomogrophy scanner.....
