DESCRIPTION

Modern technology offers artists a new way to look inside ourselves. These slides show how the medical imaging data can be used to create 3D models for both science and art. These slides were initially presented as part of the panel discussion "Entrée to New Worlds" on October 12th at the 2013 Transcultural Exchange Conference held in Boston MA. The conference focused on international artist residency opportunities and the overlap of science and art. Slides by Crispin B. Weinberg and Danice Y. Chou of Biomedical Modeling, Inc.

Rentrée to Anatomy Through Medical Imaging

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 2

Anatomy has interested humans since Ancient Egypt.

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 3

We have been fascinated with the human body & what lies inside us.

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 4

Artists of the past once had a much more “hands on” approach.

Unfortunately, cadavers are not generally available tomodern artists.

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 5

Modern technology offers us a new way to look inside ourselves.

Leonardo DaVinci dissected bodies to reveal internal anatomy.

Now we can do this virtually with medical imaging tools.

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 6

From stacks of CT and MRI images, we can pull out 3D data to create virtual models,

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 7

...and bring them into the physical world with 3D printing.

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 8

We have used these models in the medical field for planning complex surgeries like tumor resections.

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 9

Although sometimes disturbing, the models convey a lotof information and can even have an aesthetic appeal.

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 10

We've used this technology to explore both our modern and pastselves.

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 11

Revisiting Egypt, scientists looked into the mysteries surrounding King Tutankhamen by CT scanning his mummified remains.

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 12

We constructed a model of his skull.

Biomedical Modeling, Inc. ♦ Transcultural Exchange Panel 13

Using forensic anthropology techniques,tissue depth markers wereplaced...

...and a virtual reconstruction of the young pharaoh's facewas made.

Kiki Smith Vis Consili Expers Mole Ruit Sua, 2000.

We made it possible for a living artist to cast a bronze sculpture of her own skull.
