Opening "The third dimension

Unique images and models of human anatomy - in 3-D - meet the history of the X-ray process. As early as the 18th century, deceptively real wax models were molded in elaborate manual work, giving contemporaries a look under the skin for the first time. Today, hyper-realistic body images are created on the basis of MRI and CT image data on the computer with the help of so-called cinematic rendering technology, which opens up completely new insights into the interior. These and other exciting steps in the development of 3-D visualization techniques, from X-ray stereoscopy to 3-D printing, are shown in the exhibition "The Third Dimension".
