Demonstrating another benefit of CT:
MP is walking near the CT scanner room, overheard CT scanner’s conversation with CD
[CD: Carbon Dating, MP: Medical Physicist]

CT: Hello CD, let me will call you later. I need to go, as I need to give them the age of the #Woolly #Mammoth

1/
CD: Why you? I have been doing this for ages

CT: That's why - now that I am quite sophisticated, ask my doc #MP (@mmahesh1) or @RSNA

CD: Show me what have you done lately, I am on ‘CTime’ anyway, I can watch.

2/
CT: Glad you asked. BTW, I can’t say for you to watch me from console room, because we are on ‘CTime’ like ‘FaceTime’ my doc uses

CD: Ok, then.

CT: See I am able to capture the entire woolly mammoth tusk. You may ask how?

3/
CD: Yes, how & how long will it take? I usually get ‘carbon dating’ done in few days.

CT: Ha! no wonder #MP brags about me all the time. It will hardly take few minutes to scan entire tusk & few minutes to reconstruct – Viola!

CD: Did u mean ‘walla’ not ‘Viola’, correct?

4/
CT: Buddy – I actually mean ‘Viola’ – it’s a French word for “there it is”. In fact, my doc didn’t know & I had to tell him. He is never offended to learn things from me or from anyone. I think we need to adopt that, so that we enrich ourself. What do u say?

CD: Impressive!

5/
CT: Yes, especially now I have ‘large mouth (bore)’, like 80 cm, I could accommodate the entire ‘tusk’. Once you are able to push through my mouth (CT gantry), it will hardly take much time to image.

CD: I see that, why don’t we collaborate on such things from now onwards?

6/
CD: There will be many things that can’t fit into your mouth (CT Gantry), in that case, I can take care.

CT: Agreed buddy, that’s what my doc keeps reiterating, that we all need to work together.

7/
CT: In fact, he often says, “united we are, more capable we will be to solve the (World) problems”

CT ends the CTime, gives a smile to his doc #MP who was watching the whole drama from the CT Console
