A Pirate-themed CT Scanner in New York Children Hospital

A New York children's hospital recently purchased a a pirate-themed CT scanner to make the medical tests less of a 'horrible, scary chore'. Child patients lay down on a mock plank which then slides into the scanner, a hoop in the shape of a ship's wheel. Swash-buckling pirate animals decorate the walls to distract the children from the test.

GE provided the scanner to New York-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, and gave the hospital two choices for a child theme - fish or pirates - sparking a heated debate among the staff. Dr Carrie Ruzal-Shapiro, the hospital's chief of pediatric radiology, said the pirates won out because they 'were cute' and the scanner was installed in August 2013.

And so far the reaction has been positive. Registered nurse Naomi Hawkins told Buzzfeed that the best response she's gotten is a patient saying: 'Hurry up and get out so I can play'.Although the test only lasts a minute, it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get children prepared for the test, which can be stressful. 'It allows children to imagine all sorts of things,' Dr Ruzal-Shapiro told the New York Daily News. 'So it doesn't seem like a horrible scary chore.'

Before the test, nurses get kids settled onto the table and hooked up to an IV. The room's decor helps kids take their mind off the IV and the anxiety of the test.The children being scanned could be dealing with something as serious as cancer to checking on bone fractures.

The hospital's radiology department conducts about five to 10 scans in the room every day, on patients ranging from infants to 21-year-olds. 'The teens roll their eyes at the cat with the eye-patch and the hippo mermaid,' Dr Ruzal-Shapiro said. 'But they like it as much as the kids.'

Mirrored Cabin in the California Desert

American artist Phillip K Smith has taken an abandoned desert shack in Joshua Tree National Forest, in the deserts of California, and transformed it into a stunning optical illusion art called "Lucid Stead." The artist took the cabin that has been slowly rotting in the harsh desert environments for seventy years, added mirrors between aged wood slats and created an illusion that you can see right through the building.

"Lucid Stead is about tapping into the quiet and the pace of change of the desert," said Smith. "When you slow down and align yourself with the desert, the project begins to unfold before you. It reveals that it is about light and shadow, reflected light, projected light, and change."

The door and windows of the building are also fitted with color changing LEDs which after dark, change into brightly colored rectangles illuminating the desert landscape. By day, the desert scenery is reflected upon the mirrors making the cabin barely visible.

"The colour of the door and window openings are set at a pace of change where one might question whether they are actually changing colours," said Smith. "One might see blue, red, and yellow... and continue to see those colours. But looking down and walking ten feet to a new location reveals that the windows are now orange, purple and green.”
