This is cool can they make 3-D models using MRI data on a 3d printer?

[gwdidg]

For sure. We used to do just that at MGH, making miniature models of peoples' brains after a scan so they could take it home as a souvenir.

thats freking awesome

i like the PET scan better though cause you can see the current activity of the brain

[gwdidg]

Actually you can do that with MRI too with a technique they call functional MRI. PET and MRI have their own strengths, but MRI has one big advantage in that it does not require injecting a radioactive tracer, like PET does.

the resolution has spoild it for the 3 tesla ! looksnothing diffrent than 1.5 , can you send me the original video file . I need it.

[gwdidg]

The original looks much better than what came back after uploading to YouTube. I should try it again a different way and see if I can improve it.

Is MRI completely safe for the brain?

cool

[Rohan2300]

huh, how about that..I had exactly the same idea totally independantly around a year ago. I want to have a life size replica of either my brain or my skull, or possibly my heart. the heart would be my quirky valentines gift to my significant other :P

out of interest, are there any notable hazards associated with MRI scans? beyond having metal objects on my person of course.

all i know is that i wanna see my brains activity when i play guitar hero :)

place it up with 640*480 and it will turn into a higher res image when encoded by tube
