I use the OsiriX Lite version, which is free.   The MIALite plugin was also 
free. This was on a Haswell MacBook Pro running  Yosemite.   I didn't have the 
presence of mind to get the full body scan of my dog when the opportunity 
arose.   Maybe for that I would have needed the 64 bit version (and pay for 
it).   But for 3 Tesla brain scans the 32 bit version is sufficient.    Does 
volumetric rendering without any plugins.    And sufficiently well I can 
recognize the face!

The segmentation / region growing can identify different compartments (at least 
of the brain), so perhaps with some parameter sweeps on starting positions and 
thresholds, one could create rooms and passageways.   I would think major 
organs would be easier to isolate, but I don't have that data.   What could be 
more satisfying that shooting-up unwelcome cellular activity?

Very cool.  $700 is pretty stiff.  It's not clear whether the plugin will work 
with the osirix free version.  I have been using ginkgo cad, the free version 
of which works pretty well.

I'm just starting to dip my toes into 3D modeling (for another project).  I 
wonder how difficult it would be to create a 3D "world" modeled off the DICOM 
images?  It'd be kinda cool running a little avatar around over the kidneys and 
through the ribs, to grandmother's goiter we go!
