medical records as visual aids

Has anyone ever thought about using medical imagery as a visual aid in a game? (You know, x-rays, anatomy drawings, etc.) This came up for me recently because my wife got a copy of her brain scans (MRI) (all negative, thankfully), and we got some kicks looking through the pictures. One of the scans was basically of her face, but you pretty much just see her skull, eyeballs, and some brain peeking out the top. So I immediately thought, "wow, this would be a great illustration of a lich to show in a game!" Any similar experiences anyone?

Negative? You wife has no brain!

j/k...don't know anything about MRIs.

I used DaVinci design of man before as a puzzle.

I think we used a fracture in someones leg for a dungeon floorplan.

pretty sure not

Hi,

We have some back x-rays of my wife's spine. She is a gamer, but I am pretty sure that if I said.."Hey honey, do you mind if I use your spine as a basis for a dwarven mine adventure"

She would not be amused.....

But, I am about to head home. I will ask her,and report back.

RK
