Print your brain!

Friend showed me this; Thought I'd share.

Here's how he did the brain thing btw;
1. "Images come off the scanner in DICOM (.dcm) format; I use dcm2nii to convert to NIfTI (.nii) format;
2. ITKSnap can read .nii and write .stl meshes. Blender reads .stl!
3. The clean up is where the most work is needed, but removing doubles and smoothing vertices go a long way. Best of all, all of these softwares are free!"
I didn't figure this out. A redditer did. I plan on trying it out. Now I just need to figure out where I can get my head scanned for cheap. >_>

also I would totally keep the eye's and part of the spine, go all Robocop 2 on that prints ass.
Tell him you want your medical records on cdrom/dvd the software to view the scan usually comes with the disk. ( and is intuitive enuff )
I never asked my doctors? I simply told them I prefered digital. They r yer medical record don't they have to provide a copy for u? ( for heart blood flow imaging Johns Hopkins charged me only for the disk? )
