In September 2009 my doctor recommended an MRI to rule-out a couple of potential conditions. The scan came back completely normal, which was a great relief! I decided to do something with the images, and spent a fun weekend writing this MRI explorer. I hope you enjoy playing with it!

The MRI set comprises photographic slices from three angles. He's turned the images into a Flash toy you can change focus on, roughly like Google Maps. All three views (front, side, top) and at every depth. Click, drag, the controls are intuitive.

The skull view at right would be an interesting Halloween mask.
