3D CT Scans of a Lego Toy MRI

Filed under: Art

Flickr user voxel123, who describes himself as "master of volume rendering (MRI, CT)," has posted a set of reconstructed CT images of a Lego MRI system.

Here's how voxel123 describes the picture above:

Some time ago, I built a Lego MRI system as a giveaway for a pediatric radiologist and had it CT scanned later.

This is a volume rendering based on the axial scan. Note that the density of the bricks is different for each color.
