For anyone wanting to relive that experience, you should know that (in the US at least) you can go to the imaging department at the hospital and get all of that data on a CD, and there's some good free software to render it. I've got a 3D print of my head somewhere that I made from a CT scan.
- ttoinou 4y agoNoo way? My CD only contains a bunch of jpeg from the slices. What file format did you get ?

- echo_time 4y agoIf the images are in DICOM format, which is common, then dcm2niix should be able to convert them https://github.com/rordenlab/dcm2niix https://github.com/rordenlab/dcm2niix I think it can handle a few other formats as well. Once they are .nii(.gz) files, then mricrogl (https://www.nitrc.org/projects/mricrogl https://www.nitrc.org/projects/mricrogl) should be able to render it - of course, for a brain scan - this would be your whole head. Brain extraction is performed by more specialized software, but that would get you started.

- sundarurfriend 4y agoYou can buy portable CD reader/writers for pretty cheap (that connect to a USB port).
