Science magazine had a photo competion..
2007 Visualization Challenge Winners
tied for first place were
by Dr. Kai-hung Fung
Human anatomy it may be, but the airways that riddle the space behind our noses take on an alien aspect in this unearthly rendering created by Kai-hung Fung, a radiologist at the Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Hong Kong.
A computed tomography (CT) scan from a 33-year-old Chinese woman ...
Normally, CT renderings meld slices together into smooth surfaces, but, in what he terms the "Rainbow Technique," Fung instead broke them apart, creating a topographical map of the airspaces described by the contour lines of individual slices, and colored according to the density of the tissues that border them.
Fung digitally removed the bones, soft tissue, and fat from the rendering to create a solid "cast" of the sinuses' air envelope. "The sinuses are hollows in the bone just like the central cavity in a papaya," he says. One way to get a feel for the shape of such a cavity is to look at a cross section of it, but, he says, it's much more readily apparent in a mold.
The upward-looking angle that Fung used was fascinating, says panel of judges member Sherry Marts. "You react [to the image] on two levels; it piques your curiosity … and then draws you in to the information that's contained in [it]."
in case you havent figured it's looking up from below at the nose etc.. (took me a while

Thanks for those, they're fascinating.
As for old newspapers, that makes me wish I'd saved one a year for the past... oh never mind how long
