Doesn't look that much better than a thin slice CT with custom colormaps ("CLUTs"), using a regular greyscale for the high density tissue (bone), and a reduced alpha channel for the low density tissue rendered in yellow.
You can get that with a Dicom station and 5 minutes, or for free using Osirix at home and trial/error if you are not used to CTs.
Ask for the CD next time you get a scan, or download one of the many examples, and play with Osirix.
