A 3-D View of the Brain

Jamie found a nifty story about Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital coming up with new 3D Brain Imaging Software. The interesting bit is that it merges data from MRIs as well as various other types of brain scans to create a single visualization for your noodle.

    Computer-assisted stereotactic neurosurgery has been around for a long time. The software takes MRI slices and uses a marching-cubes-type algorithm to convert from texels to voxels. I don't see how this software is anything new really, other than maybe using some other kind of input image.
