Implications of high density contrast on biological material.

Contrast is a theory which involves spectral deviations as light passes through or reflects off a material. It is also considered the essence of shadows and highlights to anyone with artistic experience. With light exceeding beyond our visual spectrum we rely more on machines which run radiation or magnetic waves through our bodies. Though not likely to be dangerous there is still a need for more accurate and non invasive means of exploration. It is within our limits to find materials which contrast the composition of the human body enough to generate a 3 dimensional model of the patients insides.

By adding different contrasts as lenses to magnetic imaging greater resolution, more detail, and faster decisions can be made.

True. So?
 
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance gives us an image of the human body, in terms of its hydrogen protons and hydrogen bonding. I have always believed the atomic complexity of the human body could be simplified in terms of just this image of the hydrogen. Picture a complex body system, the hydrogen will arrange based on the positions of the bulk molecules and the potentials within atoms of C,O, N, S, P, Na+, K+, etc. Certain states of the hydrogen reflect the impact of the whole placing the hydrogen into any particular arrangement. Why look at everything when H tells the whole story.

This can be taken to the next level of simplicity. This simpler approach is based on the premise that the hydrogen bonding of water reflects all the materials of life, in real time. Nine out of every ten molecules within the human body is water. Nothing can happen within the cell unless water is being actively displaced. Diffusion of materials and change of molecular conformations need to move water around. Water is bound to everything and then to itself by hydrogen bonding. We could theoretically look at life in situ, in dynamic time, but looking at water patterns. These are back translated via computers.

As an analogy, we can record the movement of a dancer by looking at bulk body positions. There is no need to monitor every muscle fiber since each position implies a coordination of these fibers. We look at bulk patterns and then computer back calculate the fibers. The idea of getting better machines to see more detail causes science to lose track of the forest because of the trees. Sometimes you need to step back and see the forest in new way, which then explain the patterns one notices in the trees.

Wrong,

Because it doesn't. Quit making up stupid crap and presenting it like it is something reasonable.

Not only is this simpler but it is also wrong and ignorant.

Nine out of every ten molecules within the human body is water.

It is more like 98 out of every 100 molecules is water.

Nothing can happen within the cell unless water is being actively displaced. Diffusion of materials and change of molecular conformations need to move water around. Water is bound to everything and then to itself by hydrogen bonding. We could theoretically look at life in situ, in dynamic time, but looking at water patterns.

Water is the solvent of the body. It is not the answer to everything.

We look at bulk patterns and then computer back calculate the fibers. The idea of getting better machines to see more detail causes science to lose track of the forest because of the trees. Sometimes you need to step back and see the forest in new way, which then explain the patterns one notices in the trees.

A better analogy is this post is like a turd that is primarily composed of water but is still stinks.
 
@ Beaconator,

What you are suggesting is already being done in connection with Xray and MRI scans today. A special dye is used to increase the contrast of various organs.

Unsure how altering a lens would help unless you were trying to make something less obvious.

It could also sound like you want some sort of software to filter out the various inner organs and color code them in a diagram of a patient. I am sure this and more can be output from modern MRI scans, although color would best be used to describe functions like body temperatures..

contrast media have been around for a long time. in the 1930s-1950s radiologists used thorium dioxide (Thorotrast; see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorotrast ) as a contrast agent because of its high density readily soaking up x-rays. unfortunately, thorium is an alpha emitter, and many such patients subsequently developed liver cancer.
 
Dear Origin

Maybe he'll drown during the 'polishing phase' of the turds decent? In the 'light liquid' he calls water.

The "lens" would be composed of more materials than the cobalt magnets used in MRI machines today. This could provide a spectral contrast between the radioactive contrast producing deeper resolutions and color.

Every metal has its own spectral "code". Passing the radiation through two different materials could increase the contrast's ability to produce vivid imagery.

Though I have no idea which metals would allow both the magnetic and radioactive signals to pass through without being absorbed.
