The Stanford Radiology 3D Imaging Laboratory develops computer visualization software to process CT and MRI data to create high quality representations of the body’s anatomy. Now the laboratory has unveiled a Flickr set with some of the more interesting examples of their work. Above is an image displaying cranial sutures that hold a piece of bone attached back to the cranium following surgery. On the side are “3D images of the kidneys and aorta produced via CT angiogram are overlaid on a 2D scan of the upper torso. The yellow spots on the aorta and along the branches of the common iliac arteries are calcified plaque deposits.”
A rep for Stanford University Medical School told Medgadget that the set “showcases some of the most visually appealing and interesting images our lab produces — you’ll see there are cranial sutures, a bypass, an aneurysm, and so on.”
