Hodoscope

A print atelier for medical imaging

Your scan,
made unforgettable.

Somewhere on a disc you have a file no one can read but a radiologist. We turn it into something you'd hang above the fireplace — an original drawn from the one shape nobody else on earth has.

Founding collectors receive first access and 20% off the opening edition.

Three framed prints made from a brain MRI, hung on a gallery wall
Made from your own DICOM Procedural — never an image generator Archival cotton rag, 310 gsm Printed & shipped in the EU

One scan.
Three ways to keep it.

Every commission is rendered from your own study at full resolution, then finished for the places it will actually live: a wall, a screen, a feed.

A framed gilded print of a mid-sagittal MRI

01 — The Print

An original for the wall

Pigment ink on 310 gsm cotton rag, hand-checked, signed on the reverse and numbered. Framed in oak or blackened ash, or shipped flat in a tube.

An infrared-toned axial scan artwork

02 — The Digital Pack

Everywhere you look

Your piece cut for phone, desktop, profile and header — plus the full-resolution master, yours to keep and print again.

03 — The Motion Piece

A thing that moves

A short film of your own anatomy turning, igniting and dissolving through the collection. Made for a screen, a story, or a very good message to your mother.

Eight collections,
one anatomy.

Each collection is a treatment the atelier has tuned by hand — a way of reading the same tissue. You'll see your own scan in every one before you choose.

Aurum collection — gilded rendering

Aurum

Gold leaf laid along the ridges. Warm, ceremonial, quietly extravagant.
Cartography collection — contour rendering

Cartography

Your tissue read as terrain — elevation lines across the folds.
Nocturne collection — constellation rendering

Nocturne

The brightest points become stars, joined into private constellations.
Spectra collection — infrared rendering

Spectra

Heat-map colour. The loudest piece in the house.
Atelier collection — engraved plate rendering

Atelier

Sepia ink on plate paper, in the manner of a 19th-century anatomy.
Bauhaus collection — geometric rendering

Bauhaus

Flattened to primaries and hard geometry. Graphic, modern, unfussy.
Vanitas collection — engraved skull

Vanitas

An oblique cut the ortho planes can't reach: the skull in profile, engraved. A memento mori drawn from your own bone.
Fragment collection — a single isolated form on black

Fragment

One part, alone on black — an ear, an eye, the labyrinth of the inner ear. The quietest thing we make.

How a scan
becomes a picture.

No prompt, no image generator, no stock brain. Your file is read slice by slice and re-lit by code — which is why the shape on the wall is unmistakably yours.

01

Send your study

Upload the DICOM folder from your clinic disc or patient portal. MRI and CT both work. If you only have a photograph of the film, we'll work from that.

02

See every way

Within a day you get a private viewing room: your own scan rendered through every collection, in every plane, so you can pick the one that stops you.

03

We print and ship

Your choice is printed on cotton rag, numbered, certified and posted from inside the EU — with the digital pack in your inbox the same day.

Included with every print

A certificate of provenance

Star maps can be bought twice. A genome can be sequenced again. Your scan is a single moment of a single body — so each print is issued as an edition of one, documented like the artwork it is.

  • The study it came from — sequence, plane, slice
  • The treatment and the date it was rendered
  • Numbered 1 of 1, signed, with archival paper stock noted
  • No health information. Nothing diagnostic. Nothing shared.

Questions,
answered plainly.

I don't have my scan. Can I still order?

Usually yes. If you've had an MRI or CT you have the right to a copy — in Sweden through 1177, elsewhere through your clinic's portal or a written request. Private providers like Prenuvo let you download the DICOM file directly. Tell us where you were scanned and we'll point you at the right door.

Is this a medical service?

No, and deliberately so. Hodoscope is an art atelier. We don't read, interpret, screen or diagnose anything, and nothing we make should ever be used for a medical purpose. If you have a question about your health, it belongs with your doctor.

What happens to my scan?

It's treated as health data, because it is. Files are stored encrypted on servers in the EU, identifying tags are stripped on arrival, and the source scan is deleted 30 days after your order is complete — sooner if you ask. Our print partner never sees it; they receive the finished artwork only.

Will people know it's a body?

That's your call, collection by collection. Aurum and Atelier keep the anatomy plainly legible. Cartography and Bauhaus abstract it far enough that most guests read it as a landscape or a graphic — until you tell them.

Can I use a scan of someone else?

Only with their clear permission — a parent commissioning a child's scan, or a gift arranged together. We ask you to confirm it at checkout. Please don't surprise someone with their own anatomy.

Is it really not AI?

Correct. There's no diffusion model and no prompt anywhere in the pipeline. Each treatment is written code — gradient mapping, edge tracing, contouring, halftone screens — applied to your actual voxels. Run it twice and you get the same picture, which is rather the point.
