3d_printed_brain

Your scan only contains part of your brain. The clinics often only scan a particular region of interest to save time (MRI scans are expensive, so time=money). It's unfortunately not possible to reconstruct it hence.

sounds quite like it! how much memory do you have assigned to the virtual machine? and how much do you have in total? although it's a bit strange as the pre-allocated memory of the freesurfer-vmware should have by default enough memory set.If you want, send it to me and I'll run it for you ;-) just send me a private message

yep, that seems correct. it's trying to figure out which parameters are best. that's why it takes so long

I've used PLA for all brains I've printed so far. You just need to make sure to place the brain in the right orientation so that the supports will disturb be less visible in the end (placing the supports at the back/bottom). I have, however, found substantial differences in quality from different printers. Just use a different hub!

what error exactly? You probably have to look into the FreeSurfer support to ask for help (it's open source, so don't expect too much help). Have you tried using the the DICOM as input (look in the FreeSurfer documentation for help)?

The brains are absolutely fine. Most 3D printer can't print that resolution anyway, so you will not see any difference when printing those 3.

You should not see too much difference. This step is just there to reduce the size/complexity. What does it say in the bottom graph about the number of vertices? I use STL as well as it's supported by most 3D printing services

Hey LVAW,1) It just looks like you have three series. In fact you only have one volume and the three series are just view angles.2) The smaller the slice thickness the higher the resolution. That means you will get a smoother volume with thinner slices. I have not tried it but I assume it should work nevertheless with 3mm.

you can certainly use any MRI scan that you want. But it needs to be a whole scan, not just an image from Google images.

For my repaired headband all the Ohm is below 1K (40-400 Ohm), and still the headband is not picking up any proper signal. Could it be that the transmitter itself is broken? And what can I do about that?

For my repaired headband all the Ohm is below 1K (40-400 Ohm), and still the headband is not picking up any proper signal. When checking in ZeoScope, there is a very noisy signal and REMs are not getting shown properly. Same if I use the transmitter directly on the head without headband. Could it be that the transmitter itself is broken? And what can I do about that?
