I’m sorry, but I cannot stop laughing at this hedgehog 😂
One of the most difficult parts of veterinary medicine is the fact that your patients can’t directly communicate. Oftentimes, issues go unnoticed simply because the animal masks things like pain. Luckily, the vet immediately knew this hedgehog had something wrong, because it kept exploding into a bunch of golden rings.
Free my homie sonic. He done nothing wrong.
Except had a brain tumor causing epilepsy.
It’s also the only one that’s an Xray instead of a CT
MOISTURISE ME
The bdsm community is leaking.
No pun intended btw.
Wearing a surgical drain is brave all on its own, but that makes me extra inspired!
“That’s it I’m taping you down!”
Taped animals were the most interesting of the set.
they made that mfer 2-dimensional
Singer would be proud
why are they MRI-ing a filet? :3
I love how it’s just taped down with like masking tape lol
Otherwise he’d be moving so fast the blueshift would be visibly noticeable
I hope they checked his pockets before the MRI violently pulls a bunch of rings at dangerous velocities!
Poor Blaze doing his checkup 🤭
Tiny little hedgehog voice: I’ve been a bad boy. A bad bad boy.
(Might be a girl having trouble getting my phone to load anymore than a thumbnail worth of pixels)
This feels like the equivalent of getting abducted by a superintelligent alien race, being put into a machine beyond your wildest comprehension, and then probably getting a treat and sent back home where nobody will believe you
i got a CT scan once and am a dumbass so the doctors and technicians might as well have been a superintelligent race
however instead of a treat i got a giant medical bill >:(
My favorite is definitely that poor hedgehog, LOL
Mine are the snake and the taped bird
The dolphin sent me.
They really just folded that snake up
funny sad fact, if a person weigh 600 or more lbs, they sometimes have to use xrays/ct/mri in the zoos that are meant for larger animals.
No shit, I once had the chance to accompany a patient to an large aninmal hospital for an MRI.
The problem: It was so far away that the patient needed to be airlifted. Which was far beyond the capacity of regular HEMS. So they called in the military and they send a fucking CH-53 cargo helicopter. These things are huge and loud. But cool.
That was one interesting ride. Somewhat embarrassing for the patient (who was not in on weight level due to simply eating too much - patient had a massive and life altering orphan hormonal disease) but patient kept somewhat good spirits and the volunteer fire brigade did a good job blocking the view.
Nowadays human medicine has improved - you can now simply use an open MRI with specialised gurneys. They usually can take more than 400kg, sometimes 500kg.
Does a larger MRI produce more data than a smaller one (same data density over a larger volume), or is it the same resolution spread out over a larger space?
It depends. MRI and to an even larger extent CT scans are “targeted” to an area. People are very very rarely scanned “totally”.
E.g. you want to look at the cervical spine and therefore only examine this area. While you will also see neighbouring regions these are not necessarily full resolution (only if they can have an impact). So if the imaging run is being done for an area that is not affected much by the fat tissue it won’t produce more data necessarily (a cardio MRI is a good example). If you do a abdominal or pelvis MRI/CT is normally does include all tissue and therefore will produce more data.
(Take this with a grain of salt though, while I worked inhospital for a while I am primarily a paramedic and more into repairing vital signs than radiology. While we have mobile CTs nowadays they are brain only and not my area of expertise)
There is an exception for the real complicated cases like the one I mentioned, though. As we didn’t want to do the whole transport effort 4 weeks later again because another speciality found another issue the patient was indeed scanned almost completely" (with breaks in-between as that gets uncomfortable fast).
(Sadly enough the whole thing was done 6 weeks later again,indeed, as the patient had suffered from an acute stroke which later killed them. Sad story,really. Never had a chance in life)
I had a patient tell me he had to go to a zoo for an MRI. I thought it was a self deprecating joke but he was serious.
I learned this from Scrubs
Obviously we should have bigger radiology machines. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to have them where you have a substantial fat population.
It would probably be wiser to focus on healthcare access and nutrition than to make extremely expensive and already large pieces of equipment triple size as standard when alternatives already exist.
I meant from the perspective of a rational person who cares about health, not an idiot that deserves to have its head chopped off in a guillotine.
And for multiperson scanning of compatible patients in a dramatically more cancerous pandemic-affected modern cohort with dwindling hospital infrastructure! ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
This happened in Scrubs.
Do we also get a thread of pictures of animals getting CT scans with their consent?
Thanks for sharing. How does the fish one work? The dolphin I get because it breathes oxygen, but don’t all fish have gills? I feel like it should be in the water.
You’re supposed to hold your breath for a CT, so the fish is just fine for a bit.
Maybe the fish are dead, or not out of the water for too long.
… Who said it needs to live.
💀💀💀
Somehow I don’t think the fish consented to this…
We need higher res photo of Steven the fish
Some of those seem to have consented after being forced to.
I’m pretty convinced the cat is just being a cat though.
Looks like it’s going through some reps
I hate to read any post on the internet that involves both the words “animal” and “consent.”
Human beings are inexplicable, contradictory species that don’t know how to view the world through anything other than our momentary feelings about things, and the universe suffers for it.
The hamster burritos got me good.
Stopped asking those pesky questions now didn’t it?
Stopped asking those pesky questions about what?!?
Grapes
Peace is finally an option.

20 ccs of lasagna, stat!
He is thinking how he is going to hunt and kill all these humans, one by one.
A fucking rhino!?
How many people did it take to get him on the gurney?
I’m guessing they would have some sort of overhead crane to do the heavy lifting
I wouldn’t want to be the one to have to intubate those animals.
Actually most of them (according to a friend who works for a large animal hospital and has some human EMS background) are intubated far easier than humans - and they place a “hand safer” device (if you’re old enough to remember the “plastic screw device”-I don’t actually remember the actual name- used to open a seizure patients jaw that were once used, they are similar).
Back in my training day we used cats to practice neonatal intubation.
I actually would love to be the one to intubate them!
Why couldn’t that bird get a sleeping bag like the hamster did? Seems a bit drastic taping it down by the neck
The bird is for a normal x-ray. Here’s the context.
CT scans take much longer, but an x-ray is just a few seconds. I think it’s just a practical way to get the bird in place for a quick x-ray, and by practical I mean the vet techs minimize their (very real) risk of being murdered.
hehe

where’s the seed lebirdsky?
😆
Gotta get the wings spread.
Birds have very delicate air sacs. For small birds like that constricting them can seriously damage them and cause issues breathing.
I think they lack a diaphragm. It was weird reading in my cockatiel care books that some handling on the neck was fine, but even small pressure to their chest could prevent them from breathing.
That is correct. :)
I don’t think animals are ever okay getting CT scanned
Are we the bad guys?
What don’t Samsung make?
Good phones 🙄
