A 3-D View of the Brain

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the mine-is-kinda-bland-before-the-coffee-kicks-in dept.

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.

  1. Nothing new here... by perrin · · Score: 5, Informative

    I work within the field of medical imaging, and this is nothing new. People have been doing image fusion with images from different image modalities for over a decade. There are lots of products like this one, some even open source and with more impressive screenshots. Why is this particular product, which is not even named or referenced, featured? If you want to see impressive open source work within the medical world, check out ITK and VTK (http://www.vtk.org/ and http://www.itk.org/). Now that is really cutting edge work done with free software.
