So I got the raw 3d MRI source files from the hospital. Then I got the software needed to view the MRI in 3d. It let me rotate, slice, and even colorize the images. So **I** generated these images from the raw MRI. It shows my kidney, heart, and skeleton from 4 different angles fully colorized. How cool is that!

I also included some of just the heart and kidneys on its own from the same scan.

@freemo
That's fantastic. Can you convert it into a 3d printable format?

@y6nH I havent tried, but im sure there must be a way. There data is surely there to make it possible. The question isnt if it is possible the question is just how much hacking you'd have to do in order to make it happen.

@freemo
The company I work for actually does metal 3d printing of surgical implants, and they won't even let us print life-size titanium replicas of our own skulls, buddy.

@y6nH why wont they "let" you? i mean i would think if you are willing to pay for the cost they shouldnt really care either way.

@freemo
I mean, they won't just let us do it for a laugh. Everything's possible if you have enough money.
