Voxel Printing of Neuroimaging
by LUKE HALE.
Typically, in order to 3D print neuroimaging data, anatomical areas of interest must first be identified on individual 2D slices, then isolated (either manually or via thresholding), and then converted to a 3D mesh. This time-consuming ‘segmentation’ typically requires commercial software and, in forming this 3D mesh, the rest of the scan data is lost and reduced to a binary representation
i.e. either outside or inside the anatomical area of interest. Furthermore, the size of structures may be over or underestimated.
