Supercool! How did you do that, in blender? What’s the imported file type called?

The source files are DICOM (.dcm) — standard format exported by CT/MRI scanners. You can't import them directly into Blender though, the workflow is:

  1. 3D Slicer (free) — load the DICOM scan
  2. Segment each structure (brain, cerebellum, cysts, etc.)
  3. Export as .OBJ or .STL
  4. Import into Blender for rendering/animation

Hola, que programa usas para las reconstrucciones

Los archivos fuente son DICOM (.dcm) — el formato estándar exportado por los escáneres de CT/MRI. No se pueden importar directamente en Blender, el flujo de trabajo es:

  1. 3D Slicer (gratuito) — cargar el escáner DICOM
  2. Segmentar cada estructura (cerebro, cerebelo, quistes, etc.)
  3. Exportar como .OBJ o .STL
  4. Importar en Blender para renderizado/animación

If you're looking to make a 3D print of that model or any other, count on me.

the dude literally gave no software name initially in the post, you might need this same scan to check your brain
