Transcript
In case you're having a bad day - here's a CT scan of peaches. Yes, this is a real CT scan, and no, the peaches were not feeling any pain. A CT scanner takes X-ray images from multiple angles and stitches them into detailed cross sections, so you can see right through the fruit without cutting it open. The dense pit in the center lights up bright, while the juicy flesh around it shows up softer and grayer because it's mostly water. Any bruising or damage inside would show up too, which is basically how we look at human anatomy.

Peaches getting a CT scan is the best thing you'll see today🍑🩻 Yes, this is a real CT scan, and no, the peaches were not feeling any pain. A CT scanner takes X-ray images from multiple angles and stitches them into detailed cross sections, so you can see right through the fruit without cutting it open. The dense pit in the center lights up bright, while the juicy flesh around it shows up softer and grayer because it's mostly water. Any bruising or damage inside would show up too, which is basically a peach getting a full physical. The same technology we use to look for fractures, bleeds, and internal injuries can also show you exactly what's hiding inside your fruit bowl🩺 Peach scan results: perfectly healthy🌴 ✅Follow @drdavidabbasi for More Daily Medical Content & Health Tips!😷Schedule a consultation in Delray Beach!
