Re:oh-4-fucks-sake

The website notes that what they have are "NOT for human consumption". Is it safe or is it different than what one would use for recreational purposes?

Thanks for taking the time to write this!

As you mentioned, it looks like it will be difficult to get a referral for a full-body scan as a healthy person :\

Nonetheless, I found your explanation on printing such objects really helpful and the tutorials for 3D Slicer you've linked are really cool. While fully body scan looks impossible, I was involved in an accident several years ago and the hospital had taken CT scans of my brain to ensure it wasn't damaged. I will visit them to check if they can share the DICOM data of that scan (if they even have it by now) and will try to process it with 3D Slicer.

Thank you for the detailed response! [2] was an interesting read for someone new to medical imaging.

As you mentioned, it seems like it will be hard to get a referral for a full-body CT scan as a healthy person. The costs of scans also look pretty steep to quench a curiosity thirst :/

Nevertheless, I appreciate you sharing this knowledge and will try to print a segmented skull to understand the process better.

This is really cool. I did not know it was possible to print metallic structures like this. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! I will check it out.

Thank you, this is helpful!

I appreciate your candid critique. I did not know the cost nor the steps involved in doing this. Also, by "debugging" I meant to find discrepancies or signs of abnormalities (if any) by having a model skeleton on hand.

That's awesome! Thank you very much for sharing your experience and explaining the processes involved in detail.

From my light research, it seems that obtaining such scan would be costly ($1k-$5k price range for full body scan without a health insurance).

I will reach out to local universities to check if they can aid me in this or if I can do this over time, piece by piece.

That's amazing! I will look into their methodologies more. Thanks!

Thanks for the insight!

Although there are readily available skeletons for purchase, I want to print my own skeleton for "profiling and debugging" purposes :)

Thanks for sharing this!
