>> I wish we could have a peek inside the patient as if we had opened it up but this is not yet that.

Surgery rarely looks like that. We are messy creatures. Our parts all overlap and fold among each other. It never looks as open as in the scan, short of dissecting the patient well beyond what is ever needed for any actual procedure.

The example image certainly looks cool, but it is too 2d. It doesn't have the 3d structure visible in traditional x-rays. An expert can look at an old photographic x-ray and see the layers of tissue and bone atop each other. It is a rather good 2d visualization of a complex 3d shape. Giving tissues more solid color take away from the translucence and, imho as a non-doctor, removes much of the information.
