NanoraptorIf you’ve ever had a PET scan then there was a time in your life where you shot antimatter and gamma rays from your eyes.
(Technically many other places too yes but give yourself this win)
Gender David Copperfield@NanoRaptor commodore made a medical imaging product? i had no idea.
kabel42@NanoRaptor are you scanning for Polyethylene terephthalate or with?
Is it just hitting someone with an empty coke bottle?

Ryan Finnie@NanoRaptor I've had two cervical disc fusion surgeries (5 years apart), which means:
1) I have two different dead people in my neck. Supposedly there's the option of artificial shims now, but not for me. Dead guys.
2) I like to say I have more titanium in my neck than the Borg Queen.
Simon Zerafa (Status: 
😊)I'll stick to bananas when I want to emit antimatter.
If it goes to my head I will eventually have a positonic brain

@simonzerafa My PET scan was to track down if there was something particularly bad re: my migraines; twice a week for years in my 20s. Seemed a bit too awful for *just* migraines. But nope, migraines.
*definitely* had a positronic brain for a bit!
Greem (Graeme. Not Graham!)@NanoRaptor does being filled with 99m-Tc and then being SPECT-CT scanned count?
I was *fizzing* that day.
Remember Remember 7th NovemberSuperhero recruiter: And so, what is your superpower?
Me: I can shoot antimatter and gamma r--
Recruiter: yeah yeah gamma rays out of your eyes, great here--
Me: No, no, not out of my eyes! Out of my bellybutton!
Recruiter:
...
Next please!
@NanoRaptor Can I quote you on that?
@drwho one may quote me on everything. What use that is or the correctness is something else entirely.
@NanoRaptor Thank you very much.
@NanoRaptor What about gamma knife surgery?
Rue Mohr@NanoRaptor sorry for the slop, but its a really stupid joke that I just cant pull off fast enough to make it worth it.
@RueNahcMohr oh this is TERRIBLE and honestly jealous I didn’t think of it myself.
none gender with left politics@NanoRaptor I'm constantly shooting IR beams from my eyes (and also the rest of my body)
Darryl RammI prefer to boost my antimater and gamma ray reserves by eating 🍌
alina cyborg mouse 
@NanoRaptor yay! happy cyborg noises

You can also get images suitable for 3D printing, for spares.

Nick 'The Viking'Then one would be slightly heavier, yes?
Bernard Sheppard@nlarson830 @NanoRaptor No, lighter!
Most of the positrons encounter electrons, anialate and emit gamma radiation which is what is actually detected in a PET scan.
It is the contrast media that emits the positions in PET.
That said, I have, rather conveniently ignored the mass of the contrast media, which would make you temporarily heavier.
Melissa BearTrix@MelissaBearTrix just one here! Decades ago.
My brain is officially normal. Ish.
@MelissaBearTrix Now that's the kind of result you need. May they continue to be that kinda Nice!
Medea Vanamonde 🏳️⚧️@NanoRaptor @MelissaBearTrix Or any time you eat a banana
Will 
@NanoRaptor I get to experience that tomorrow afternoon.
@AncTreat5358 good luck! If one needs luck. May you remember your antimatter and gamma ray vision and go look at things differently from that point on.
@NanoRaptor LOL. I'll be sure to set my phasers...erm peepers...on stun.
@NanoRaptor As luck would happen, the hospital doing the imaging cancelled on me less than an hour from when I was going to travel there. Apparently there was a delayed shipment of the radioactive material, and they didn't have enough for my test.
Frustratingly, the person who broke the news said they would reschedule me soon thereafter, but Scheduling put me a month out. I was all set mentally to soon know if I am indeed going down the path of early-onset Alzheimer's, so a month delay will be cause for rumination much longer.
James 🦉 #FBPE 🇪🇺@NanoRaptor Go go gadget gamma ray butthole
Andre Levo-thigh-roxine@NanoRaptor I had thyroid cancer and had to take iodine-131 and, after a week, get a PET scan. It's a bit weird to go to the hospital and need like "your imaging radiation source is here. Where do i sign in for delivery?"

Instructions unclear, my car didn't like to be in the printer's scanner and i didn't saw much lasers out of his eyes
