Presentation

Suddenly a cocktail jumped on the X-ray machine.

An experiment with different X-ray densities on X-ray machine and CT-scan.

Outer lining consistent with a fancy glass, a juicy lime wedge around the rim, with the lime itself hanging on.

Liquid consisting of water and lenen oil in equal amounts (1:1) with a few drops of freshly squeezed iodinated contrast medium. Give the mixture a good shake and chill. Do not try it yet, or never- contrast media are super bitter!

Inside the glass, there are objects with different attenuation - a metal Martini olive, a wooden "ice cube" and another lemon to garnish.

On top of both lemons you can spot tear drops of radioopaque mix, - contrast media drops.

Enjoy your X-ray cocktail in good company.
