CAT Scan Images As Art

Medical doctor and diagnostic radiology specialist Kai-hung Fung creates captivating images of the human body through the digital manipulation of 3D computer tomography (CT or CAT scans).

The pictures, which are digitally manipulated using something called the “rainbow technique”, showcase the insides of ear canals (as shown above), sinuses, and the heart- and are brought to life by a variety of vibrant colors.

A description of this technique according to the artist:

The ‘rainbow technique’ is a new method of art representation using contour lines to define 3D space or object, each contour line being in the form of a colourful rainbow. Similar to pointillism, this new concept of colour representation vitalizes the artwork, transforming it into one that sparkles with colours. Due to its complexity, it is only made possible with modern computer technology.
