My dad's brain during a pet scan May 05

My dad's brain during a pet scan today, originally uploaded by Susan NYC.

An early image: May 2005, when I first started shooting all the time.

And what's really strange is that this profile is so recognizable...........

I was given a doctor's note when we left - to show to any security people who stopped us on the subway/street - my father would be radioactive for up to 2 days after this test....

Nobody stopped us.

This scan was done because my father's Alzheimer's is so atypical. The doctor wanted to see if there was evidence of a past stroke. There wasn't.
