It's a CT (computerized tomography) scan. It still uses X-rays but the results are in 3D so one can view "slices" of the image from different perspectives.
The sternum is in the the same plane as the spine from this angle, so that's why there's only the slightest hint of a ribcage and only the sternum - this slice is well past rib bones.
Similarly the shoulder is much closer to the viewer's perspective in the 3d model, so it's not shown at all.

Damn, that neck part is doing basically all of the first 180° of bending. Rest of the spine be caught slacking.

Would you want what your ribcage comes out of to bend significantly?
Might take your breath away, or break your heart, or both.

Thats got to be the rib cage holding it straight. Otherwise your ribs would famous, and I dont think you breasbone could stay connected.

Your ribs would what now?

Become famous. I dont understand whats so confusing about that.

But it doesn’t say ‘become’. That totally changed the meaning. My breasbone can brease easy now, thank you!

That part of the spine is bent though. When standing up it naturally curves outward.
Hule@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 75d
Wouldn't your ribs have to fan out for that part to bend?
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 75d
I'm thinking they compress towards the spine.

Is this really an X-ray? I thought you'd see all the ribs and limb bones instead of an imaging slice like this
Jajcus@sh.itjust.works · 20 pts · 76d
It might be a slice of a CT scan, so still X-ray, but more and with a lot of post-processing.

No way, no shoulders. Probably slop.

Edit: misinterpreted CT slice location.

It dates back to at least 2016, so definitely not AI. Probably just a type of imaging that you’re not familiar with.
DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 76d
It's not slop. It's a CT scan, which is why the shoulders don't show. You can search how CT scanning works, if you want to learn something.
Snopes claims it's real.

Pffft, my spine dose that shit when I sleep wrong.

It does bend just not in that direction.
There’s no way she doesn’t pay for this later in life though.

It would be odd to be standing behind a contortionist and see them tilt their head back to look at you while their body continues facing forward.
Septimaeus@infosec.pub · 4 pts · 75d
Calcification of the chest wall is holding our contortionists back from their true cat-like potential.

It would be interesting to see some statistics about contortionists and spondylolisthesis.

I misread that as 'cartoonist' at first and thought this would gonna be a take on how they bend their own lore or something 😅
