I built a tool in Houdini that takes a CT scan image sequence — those 2D grayscale slices of scanned anatomy or objects — and reconstructs them into a volumetric 3D object.

This lets you explore CT or MRI data in full 3D space inside Houdini without relying on external DICOM viewers or conversion software.

🧩 Ideal for medical visualization, scientific projects, or even artistic volumetric modeling.

✅ Features:

  • Import image sequences (TIFF, PNG, etc.)

  • Automatically stack slices into a volume

  • Convert to VDB for shading, rendering, or meshing

  • Clean interface and reusable setup
