Though not offering the sort of stark, terrible beauty (or the gore)
of The Act of Seeing with One's Own Eyes, Sectra's Visual Imaging
Table will let you perform a "virtual autopsy," by using CT and MRI
scans to place 3D recreations of a patient's body on a large,
multitouch table. What's more, the body can then be examined -- and
even cut with a "virtual knife." And it's finally available "to the
masses," as one company rep put it in an email this morning (although
we sort of figure that if you have an MRI machine you probably aren't
one of "the masses"). Check out the PR after the break, or hit up the
source link to get one for yourself.
