A revolution is taking place in the field of medical imaging. Thanks to three-dimensional images, or even 4 D, one can now see the inside of a body with incredible precision. The doctors Gombergh and Castro in Paris have developed a new technique–without a camera intruding into the organism.The images produced are of great utility not only for the doctors but also for the patients. Without anaesthesia, without having to be hospitalised, it is possible to travel limitlessly, to all the far corners, of the human body. The patient will be able leave the medical imaging room with a CD-ROM of his own body. Future parents will have a CD-ROM of their child in the stomach of his mother. Man has become transparent; he can now travel within his own body.
