The techniques of radiology have been taken beyond 2-D images by many artists, into the realms of sculpture. Some of the most extraordinary works have been created by Marilène Oliver where she printed full-body, life-sized MR images onto acrylic sheets. The sheets were then assembled into tall rectangular boxes, each one representing a family member. After this process, there are no software based modifications applied to the images. His extraordinary creations have been exhibited around the world with the proceeds donated to charity. Family Portrait" (Sophie detail) by Marilène Oliver.
