Thanks! True, OsiriX is a great way to get oblique views for illustration reference, and <strong>making a detailed QTVR is a valuable long-term asset for any medical illustrator.</strong> While I made one in 1995, <i>using a decent skull model and a scratch-built virtual QTVR camera set-up in SoftImage3D</i> (this has come-in very handy ever since), being able to do this <strong>as a DICOM tool</strong> in OsiriX makes this available to EVERY anatomical artist<strike>, MI- trained or otherwise</strike>. <strong>And it can still be edited/filtered.</strong> This is recommended as a great exercise for the new-comer to the software-=> you WILL use it, so make it with care. <i>Since any organ can be done as well, another useful suggestion is an arterial tree of frequently-visited regions.</i> Well done, Red!

While I made one in 1995, using a decent skull model and a scratch-built virtual QTVR camera set-up in SoftImage3D (this has come-in very handy ever since), being able to do this as a DICOM tool in OsiriX makes this available to EVERY anatomical artist, MI- trained or otherwise. And it can still be edited/filtered.
This is recommended as a great exercise for the new-comer to the software-=> you WILL use it, so make it with care.
Since any organ can be done as well, another useful suggestion is an arterial tree of frequently-visited regions.
