About this work

Description

Computed tomography (CT) of the head of a seal (Pinnipedia). The image was rendered with a 3D volume rendering technique in which the skeleton has been made opaque and the soft tissues (fat tissue) semi-translucent to reveal the skull of the animal. Conventional CT uses a single x-ray source to scan the animal in a series of virtual "slices". These are then digitally reconstructed to produce the 3D image seen here. Colours and degree of transparency can then be applied to the various tissues.
