Always ready to advance innovation, Siemens Medical Systems' CT division hit a new level of cool with its ice sculpture CT scanner, shown at a customer appreciation event during the Stanford International Symposium on Multidetector-Row CT.

A pair of glitter-clad models skated through the event, which was held at a San Francisco facility famed for exhibits that demonstrate principles in physics.
