Create a master from MRI for 3D print

[Alejandro_Terrado]

Hi!!! I have been trying to get a volume from a brain MRI (my own brain). The problem is that the scan have many volumes, but each volume has only one plane in high resolution. I can’t get the high-resolution plane of each volume, to generate a new master volume with the hi-res planes. The idea is to use segmentation to 3D print my brain.
I already did this with my maxilar with excellent results.
I hope you can help me out!
Thanks in advance

It’s a common issue - the post below and some of the ones it links to should give you the background.

How can I import in the same volume 3 DICOM files of the same volume

Quite often 3 anisotropic MRI images are acquired (high resolution along two axes, very low resolution along a third axis) to reduce time spent in the MRI scanner. However, these images are not well suited for 3D segmentation. See more information here: Combining volumes - what am I missing? . To reduce artifacts caused by low-resolution third axis you can follow the technique explained here: Segmenting Issue: I Can’t Remove “ridges” in 3-D model

Thanks for your reply! I am trying to aply the tools and get a better 3D volume. If not I’ll be back

Unfortunately, I wasn’t successful by trying to apply those tools. Still the same result. Is there a step by step to follow?

Please describe what you tried. Post a few screenshots, too.
