感謝現(xiàn)代科學(xué),讓我們對惡心有了新的理解。
利用CT 技術(shù)和磁共振成像(MRI)技術(shù),丹麥Aarhus 大學(xué)的科學(xué)家Kasper Hansen 和Henrik Lauridsen 將蟒蛇消化的整個過程給我們展現(xiàn)了出來。
通過在掃描過程中選擇合適的光照對比度,以及賦予不同器官不同的顏色,我們就能夠不使用解剖或者植入攝像頭等形勢,安全的觀察動物體內(nèi)的變化。
這是緬甸蟒蛇消化1只老鼠的過程(一共耗時132個小時),拍攝時間分別是吃下老鼠后2小時、16、24、32、48、72、132小時。

New Imaging Technology Shows Animal Insides, Python Digesting a Rat
Science is inherently cool, but gross science is even better.
Using a combination of computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonanceimaging (MRI), scientists Kasper Hansen and Henrik Lauridsen of
Aarhus University in Denmarkwere able to visualize the entire internal organ structures andvascular systems (aka "guts") of a Burmese Python digesting a rat.
By choosing the right settings for contrast and light intensity duringthe scanning process, the scientists were able to highlight specificorgans and make them appear in different colors. The non-invasive CT andMRI scans could let scientists look at animal anatomy without the needfor other invasive methods such as dissections.
We had the scientists send us some exclusive step-by-step images of the process. While some might call them
gruesome,we remind you that knifing your way through frog guts during highschool anatomy wasn't exactly pretty either. Keep reading to see thegradual, 132-hour disappearance of one rat from the python stomach.
This is a Burmese Python scanned before ingesting a rat and then attwo, 16, 24, 32, 48, 72 and 132 hours after dinner. The succession ofimages reveals a gradual disappearance of the rat's body, accompanied byan overall expansion of the snake's intestine, shrinking of thegallbladder and a 25 percent increase in heart volume.
