[Noisebridge-discuss] [Neuro] 3D printing brain models from MRI

[Chethan Pandarinath]

Hey guys, I was also very interested in this. Any thoughts on how we should
proceed?

I have scans in NIfTI (.nii) format. To create an STL file for 3D printing,
sounds like they should be in DICOM, is that correct?

I'm just getting started with fMRI so I haven't played with the data too
much. Most converters I've seen go from DICOM to NIfTI. Apparently this
tool can do the reverse: http://xmedcon.sourceforge.net/

Will try it out, but just wondering if
1) anyone has experience with this issue (NIfTI to DICOM)? or
2) anyone knows how to create STL form NIfTI directly?

Anyway, would love to get more involved... and it'd be cool to have a
meetup at noisebridge or elsewhere to discuss.

Excited and hungry for brains!
