Not an xray. Xrays don't have color or precision depth definition.

Quoting the article. Med-tec, I'm not.

Authorities have released X-ray images of an Irish national they allege swallowed dozens of cocaine capsules in an attempt to smuggle the drug out of Brazil.


It's a CT scan. The color/opactiy on these 3D images are based upon the X-ray attenuation.
Well there you go.

Gives a whole new spin to the term "Pot Belly"

Okay, okay, lay off. I know it's not pot, but it needed to be said.

Great they sentenced a pawn to 15 years in prison. Its not like he has much to lose considering he was willing to stuff a kilo of cocaine in his digestive tracts and risk dying to get 5k euros. Equivalent of cutting of a single leaf off of a parasitic vine...

It's mighty hard to cut weed, unless you live in the UK and you're getting shit sprayed with glass. Medical dispensaries ftw.

i had seen that on bbc america and refused to believe it. i consider pills to be at least as randomly dangerous as cocaine or heroin.
