And for the individual himself, does a model gets the copyright of the
pictures for the poses he takes?

I took CR scanning recently, and reflected on who
would be the right
copyrightholder.
The manufacturer of the machine (Siemens) - certainly not, that would be
like Nikon and Canon holding rights to all photos on Commons...
The hospital - certainly not, since there ar eindividuals running the
machine who are closer to the rights.
Those individuals, in the case of the operators would probably / could
well come under work for hire.
The operators - well in the case of CR there are two, and they only push a
button (i.e., not artistic). They are Remote from
the Object, do not see
it, and do not Direct the skanner ("camera") to adjust or improve the
final
image.
Someone taking a photograph using a point and shoot compact camera also
only push a button, yet the law have no problem with assigning copyright to
the photographer.
The patient - the only real candidate in my view. While as a patient you
are alone With the machine, the only one present
in the room, and you move
to get Your body in the right position (i.,e., you are the primary agent
to
make the image successful).
