The goal of this project was to learn how to translate and reconstruct raw CT scan data into a workable 3d model.
Invesalius, an open source medical software used for reconstruction of computed tomography and magnetic resonance images, was used to reconstruct CT scan data, which was then imported into Zbrush for modelling.

Zbrush used for 3d modelling, Keyshot for rendering, and Adobe Photoshop for final 2d images.
Sinuses hand painted in Photoshop.
Alveoli sculpted in Zbrush, rendered in Keyshot and final image created in Photoshop.
Initial CT Scan data as it appeared as a 3d model for the first time.
Skin after a bit of clean up and restoring post-mortem volume changes
Skeleton after first clean-up: all molars, parts of the mandible and orbital cavities were reconstructed from scratch.
Soft tissue scan before reconstruction
Skin after painting and more detailed reconstruction

Final skeleton. Cartilage and trachea were reconstructed.
Cranium detail. All teeth, foramen, orbital cavities were reconstructed.
Detail of final lungs and trachea. Trachea reconstructed.

Sinuses hand-painted onto 2d render using using Adobe Photoshop
I created a very simple model of alveoli in Zbrush, then created multiple 2d renders repositioned from several angles. This is the first render.
