- geminitojanus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+205It's because it's a CT scan, not an X-ray. Uses the same technology, but a much different method of resolving the image.
- robalesi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+165Oh.... the chair bone's connected to the... Skull bone...
- Godlesswanderer, on 10/12/2007, -5/+155A slight case of pipe-eye, I see.
- quami16, on 10/12/2007, -1/+85... also the only x-ray i will see all day. winner by default.

MRI's use giant magnets. You wouldn't want to get _anything_ magnetic near them, let alone that. - moojj, on 10/12/2007, -4/+54Seems to be working for me.
Very interesting read, quite horrific images too. I can't imagine what that would have felt like.
One thing I must say though, I have never seen X-Ray's with such a high rate of clarity. At first I thought it was made by some kid in a 3D app, but the link to the news article shows the same image. - twertyto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+48Walk it off man. Walk it off.
- dokbeast7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+45props to the eye for moving out of the way like that
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+44@keyboard:
It is a CAT(Computer aided Tomography) scan with 3D reconstruction. You take a standard CT scan and use some fancy programs to make a pretty 3D image. - g33kfu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+37Steve Ballmer was unavailable for comments
- diblasio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35Video games caused this! Damn chair throwing sims!
- leftnut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32Those Australians are awesome. The dude didn't even want to press charges.
- drmangrum, on 10/12/2007, -2/+341) it's probably the only picture of a skull i'll see all day so the title is moot
2) it's not an x-ray - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+34@fun: You cannot MRI(MAGNETIC Resonance Imaging) metal.
- dolemite5005, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32"I find it pretty cool that he didn’t get up to testify. Bunch of crazy dudes screwing around, one almost dies but realizes it was an accident and all part of the fun lol…crazy stuff."
I love the intelligent commentary and insight these bloggers provide us. - redrighthand, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2595% vision regained?!?! can anyone find a post surgery photograph? This guys a friggin superhero with regnerative ability.
- TenMinuteParty, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24So...tomorrow there will be another x-ray?
- ncapone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21@ fun4stuff
RTFA, it says the chair is made of metal several times in its context. - antoniojvr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21"There you are, good as new. Except for your dorsal fin. I'm afraid I couldn't find it after the crash."
- rstarr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14This is much scarier then the backwards X-Ray I saw on scrubs this morning.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Reminds me of Phineas Gage...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage - ungus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10How about a hats off to the guy who takes the leg of a chair through his skull, has some long term or permanent consequences, and forgives the guy completely? It's totally the right thing to do, seeing as it seems to be an accident.
What a logical, nice, and all around great guy.
One more hats off to you, sir. - wendelgee2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Move over Phineas P. Gage, there's a new sheriff in town!
- castingshade, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9my ever growing fear of things near my eyes got promoted to 'terror' today
- carbonetc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10An MRI would have made for a very quick extraction of the chair leg, at least.
- quoquo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8but it's generated from x-ray images. lots of them.
- leftnut, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The thing coming out of his mouth is likely an endotracheal tube to make sure the bar-fighting genius has an airway to stay alive.
- plasmoske, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Yes Australia has national health care.
And the guy in this article is a friend of a friend of mine.
The incident happened at a club in Melbourne called 'Metro'. - smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8@fun4stuff: how do you think? by reading the article of course--duh. they mention that it was a metal chair like 3 times at least.
god, i'm so sick of retards who don't RTFA and say stupid ***** that's clearly contradicted by the article or ask questions that they'd already know the answer to if they had read it.
if you someone mentions something about the story that you didn't know, wouldn't you naturally check the article first if you wanted to find out where they got the info from? or were you just assuming that they were wrong despite not having read the story yourself? - MissAmy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Pretty cool that he forgave the guy who did this.
- coit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@ J4320
Nope, that's not the guy with the hole in his head, its the guy who did it. - steviebaby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6There must be an easier way to get a lady to sit on his face
- m00nb34m, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Um...the ONLY X-ray I will see all day.
- hplasm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"Jeez Mate- it's just a scratch..."
- MrVictor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The chair was _thrown_ at him?
Are they sure it wasn't fired from a cannon? - KineticShampoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5What happened to him sucked, but I feel happy because he forgave him. It takes a REALLY REALLY REALLY mature man to forgive and forget.
I wish he was one my friends. - PhillipJFry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Exhibit # 3965 of why the Aussies are the most laid-back group of people in the planet. I swear, every single Aussie I've ever met is ridiculously laid-back with regards to almost any situation. They like to horse around, but all in good fun.
"Ah, no worries mate, I know you didn't do it on purpose! Just get a round in one day at the bar and we'll be even"
I've lived in Europe for about 4 years and people always comment about how Americans seem laid back compared to Europeans, yet these guys make us look like Woody Allen by comparison. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Digitally-enhanced version of x-ray ---

Here's another article featuring what might be a picture of this guy (if that is him, he is one lucky bastard) ---
http://tinyurl.com/23wk2h - grooviekenn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7"...excuse me, but do I have something in my eye?"
- superguysteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That's the Internet. Its a series of tubes.
- geminitojanus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6"You cannot MRI(MAGNETIC Resonance Imaging) metal."
Actually you can MRI most metals (all non-ferrous or non-ferromagnetic metals; and even those if they're in small enough concentration); MRI in its native form, NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, as it's called in other industries), is a great way for looking for microfractures or pores (though CT is *much* more used for this purpose due to the expense of NMR scanners) and resolving the kind of rock you're looking at without cutting it apart (proton content). Oil companies will drop NMR probes down into new oil wells to resolve how porous the rock is (and thusly how much oil the rocks can hold) and the density of the material (see if you're looking at oil, at what grade, or natural gas, or just some water).
But yeah, you're not going to take an MRI of a guy with a pipe through his face. The CT scan is sufficient (and well, even if it wasn't, it just about has to be in this case). Maybe a higher resolution scanner might have helped though. - TrojanGuy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wow, and the guy just forgave the dude that threw the chair. Amazing!
- catalysis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I think I would be much more disturbed if I actually saw it, although you wouldn't be able to see the chair leg going into his throat.
- Autrix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3crikey
- Tempest811, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8im in ur bars impalin' ur patronz
- Blackforge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That... or lots and lots of morphine.
- joelsp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He just forgave him. I just hope all the crazy people who watch judge judy, or sue people for not realizing that coffee is hot see this and take a lesson.
- gab00n, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That must have been one heavy chair and the guy who threw it most likely ate spinach prior to the incident.
- quoquo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2it's a volume rendering of a computed tomography.
x-raying on steroids.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_tomography - phibrex, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Fair dinkum, our national health care consists of a 6 pack and some crocodile skin to ease the pain.
