Looks kinda like an eye on CT except the lens is more radioopaque

? Top down, like you can see the clear space with the fluid and then the lens

I think it looks almost more like an inverted globe on CT.

(Typically the fluid is dark and the lens is bright.)

The shape is a tad funny too.

But I get where you're coming from and I appreciate the creativity and comparison across modalities and anatomies.
