    Thumbs up MRI of Python Digesting Rat

    Hey everyone. While on the internet I came upon something I found extremely interesting. It is an article where they show MRI's of a python's rat digestion from the beginning to the end. I thought everyone would enjoy this.

    Here is the article.

    **Use google translate to translate the article from French to English.

    Tell me what you think!

    That is really cool. Does anyone know what the red circles are?

    Hah! That's pretty awesome! Also amazing how fast and quickly bone is dissolved.

    Probably, feces. Depending on the MRI sequence used dense, disorganized matter (like poo) will show up either bright or dark, but be quite distinct from other things around it like bone or fluid.
