A woman from Mexico City who suffered a stroke while being treated for double lung failure claims she has seen the bearded image of Jesus in a brain scan.
Jennifer Lougee Mingramm was undergoing treatment for a rare lung illness when she suffered a stroke.
Her husband Tamaha MacDonald said they were looking through a series of x-rays and scans of his wife's treatment when they both noticed the face of Jesus contained within one of images.

Mr MacDonald said the image was a sign. He told Stuff.co.nz: 'We were both convinced we could see a face.'
'The image represents a miracle.'
But medics claim the couple are suffering pareidolia - where people can spot the image of Jesus in an ordinary household object or piece of food.
Ms Lougee Mingramm suffered her stroke while undergoing therapy with steroids to keep her lungs open. She was suffering from alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency, which can cause emphysema, cirrhosis of the liver and heart damage.
She was given a 20 per cent chance of survival following her stroke in 2013.
She is currently on an oxygen machine around the clock and requires a mobile supply if she ever leaves the house.
The only cure is a double lung transplant.
Mr MacDonald, who is originally from New Zealand said his wife will need to travel to the United States for the surgery, but first he must raise $1 million for the initial surgery and one year post-operative care.
According to a fundraising page set up by Mr MacDonald: 'In September 2013 my wife, Jennifer was admitted to hospital with severe respiratory problems.
'During this time, she suffered a life threatening stroke, that seen her admitted Intensive Care for 7 days. Jen had bone from her skull removed permanent, to relieve the bleeding. She recieved over 80 screws and a titanium plate to her head in a further follow up surgery.
'In a further complication, Jen has now been diagnosed with a rare lung disease and she now needs a Full Lung Transplant, to be performed in USA.'
