The wonders of science

A friend sent me this tidbit of scientific news...

   A colleague here at work does research in visualization. I recently
   noticed an IEEE paper on his desk entitled "3D Virtual Colonoscopy." The
   abstract says "Using 3D reconstruction of helical CT data and volume
   visualization techniques, we generate images of the inner surface of the
   colon as if the viewer's eyes were inside the colon." 
   
   This is potentially a significant breakthrough in the detection and
   treatment of diseases of the colon. In addition, for those accustomed to
   having their head up their ass, this presumably could lead to a practical
   alternative.
