What we "see" is made up of more than just what comes into the eyes. Sound plays a part too, as does touch, taste and smell, although sight plays the biggest part.

When we see something we see it in 2d but if we move and change our point of view we are effectively "scrolling" through to another 2d image that is related to the previous one.

I don't believe those pics. Bones are much denser than flesh so a frequency of light that passes through flesh is still not likely to pass through bone. At the very least you would see a shadow of the bone. If there were frequencies of light that pass through the body don't you think they would be used by the medical profession instead of dangerous X rays?
