A full-colour digital hologram of a pair of lungs from a CT scan. The intricate detail of the structure can be clearly seen. The skeleton is also included, although the rib cage is removed for better visibilty. Also inculded are the bronchial tree and lung sacks (pleura) surrounding the airways (alveoli).
Holoxica has worked on a number of proof-of-concept medical holographic images with CRIC, the Clinical Research Imaging Centre at Edinburgh University. This image has been used in outreach and public presentation. For example, it was presented at the National Museum of Scotland during the 2012 Science festival, and was amongst the most popular exhibits.
