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)
Daddy as a Service 🏳️⚧️@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 ZerafaI'll stick to bananas when I want to emit antimatter.
If it goes to my head I will eventually have a positonic brain
Ramin HonaryIssac Asimov and Star Trek 😉
@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.
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 🍌
ghosts in the silicon ▒@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!
Dr David Mills@MelissaBearTrix @NanoRaptor that's a result to celebrate. Congratulations!
Medea Vanamonde 🏳️⚧️@NanoRaptor @MelissaBearTrix Or any time you eat a banana
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

@NanoRaptor I had a SPECT-CT scan back in 2024 when I started my cancer treatment. They injected me with 99m Technetium, I had to go home and brew for a couple of hours, and OF COURSE I had to go stand by my geiger counter.
It picked me up 10m away, at 5m it was at 20000 counts per minute, at 2m 60000, then sitting on my thigh 120000cpm.
"Don't spend any time next to babies, young animals or the elderly" was the advice. OK doc!
I was still fizzing the following morning...
@NanoRaptor And to my horror I see I already replied with that.
It's the weather; it's been waaaay too hot!
Simon Richter@NanoRaptor always a good feeling when they tell you to drink lots of water and stay away from small kids and pregnant people.
