My Brother

Project :

To take the 3D medical imaging raw data from my brother's MRI scan and isolate and extract the geometrical information of the brain surface. The required end product was a one quarter scale 3D-print of the resulting form using a rapid prototyping machine to provide the ultimate original birthday present.

My Role :

  • Research medical file format
  • Create an interactive graphical interface to manipulate the solid data voxel information and allow visualisation in 2D slices and 3D render
  • Derive algorithms for brain surface detection and volumetric encapsulation
  • Liaise with rapid prototyping company to provide data in a solid model printable format
