I was able to "acquire" a windows 7 machine and ran DeVide as per the youtube instructions. The results were very blocky and looked like something that was made with 2X4's, not the nice smooth model the video showed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

GWFAMI

Very nice. One problem. I use a Mac. DeVide is for windows and linux only.

It's been a month! Here's a video:

I can do it if that isn't enough for you to figure it out.

That's neat.

Now if there was just an easy way to get rid of all the soft tissue in the image. I'm using osiriX and did it once, but can't replicate it.

That's pretty disgusting...

...and it's printed in dead flesh color as if it were supposed to be displayed in a Bodies exhibit or a laboratory some where.

I work with DICOMs quite a bit.

You can use ITK-Snap, which is freeware. There's some discussion of other tools here:

One last question for today.

My wife had an MRI of her back surgery. Using OSIRIX, I was able to view it. Now I'd like to print the bone structure on the SD2, but I can't figure out how to convert from the dicom format to an stl format.

Of course, I need to have open source of shareware for this, not a rich man, at least not now.
