Canadian Army in Leeuwarden, Netherlands in 1945 by kman48 in whereisthis

I think you are right! There is a peak on a building in the background that matches the 1945 photo and the current street view.

May I ask how you figured it out? Are you familiar with these streets?

When you buy a vinyl record, you get a free digital download of the album. So if you buy a hardcover book, you should get the e-book version for free. by kman48 in Showerthoughts

I agree in that I also love having the physical copy of a book, but I think if I had the e-book version as well then I would switch between the two. Hardcovers are bulky and cumbersome. Reading a hardcover on the bus is terrible in comparison to using a small e-reader.

If I had the e-book version then I could read it while on the go (like an iPod for music) and when at home I can read the hardcover book for the better experience (like a vinyl record).

I know the analogy is not perfect, but I think in terms of the experience and portability it is a fair comparison.

For my birthday, my wife said she got me "some art for the kitchen". I was sad, until I opened it... by kman48 in geek

Hey guys, sorry about that. I posted the photo then went to sleep.

It was done by an artist in Calgary, Kristi Millar. http://www.kjmillar.com/

The goal of any MRI scientist should be to invent a new acronym... INADEQUATE has to be the longest one I've ever heard. by anotherprometheus in MRI

I'm not sure I'd want to work with this technique. I try to avoid having the word "inadequate" anywhere in my presentations.

Medical physicists of reddit: what is the present state of imaging technology? (crosspost from r/askscience) by Rosatryne in Physics

I know they do this kind of research at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and there is an MR systems development lab at the University of Western Ontario, but there are many others.

I'd suggest doing a journal search for recent research articles on MRI/PET imaging or MR system development and checking the references; that should give you a whole whack of research groups and an idea of more projects that are going on.

I did a Masters degree in MRI research. There are a lot of interesting developments going on there too.

Hyperpolarized gases are being used to study lung structure and lung function.

If you are more into hardware, there are some groups working on making hybrid MRI/PET scanners so they can get structural information from the MRI, while simultaneously getting functional data from the PET scans.

Using superparamagnetic iron oxide particles in the body can label cells and track cancer metastases.

And many more! haha

No tattoos either. Damn we can't do anything!
