Multislice CT-The Modern Leonardo Da Vinci

Leonardo Da Vinci- drew many studies of the human skeleton and its parts, as well as muscles and sinews. He studied the mechanical functions of the skeleton and the muscular forces that are applied to it in a manner that prefigured the modern science of biomechanics.He drew the heart and vascular system, the sex organs and other internal organs, making one of the first scientific drawings of a fetus in utero. Look at this image taken from wikipedia and is a drawing of heart by Leonardo Da vinci and see how closely it resembles the Cardiac CT image, that is why, it may be appropiate to label multislice CT as modern Leonardo..
