I wrote to our EU representatives outlining why I am angry that chat control is getting yet another attempt to make it into legislation when it has already been rejected several times. Age verification is on the menu too 🤮
If you live in the EU, write to your MEP before 29 June and tell them why Chat Control (mass scanning of personal messages) is unsuited to protect anyone online, let alone minors:

Abstract: Optical 3D scanning systems allow the acquisition of accurate models of patient anatomy, suitable for use in the design of simple 3D-printable patient-matched medical devices with 3D modelling software. This study developed and demonstrated the use of superficial brachytherapy surface mold design workflow that utilizes data from optical 3D surface scanning and enables a commercial brachytherapy treatment planning system to be used for catheter positioning and dose optimization steps. Synthetic CT images were generated from 14 optically scanned anatomical models of human participants. Models and skin textures ac-quired from the optical scans were imported into Autodesk Meshmixer, where the treatment area was delineated, and treatment and device volumes produced. 3D Slicer was used to convert the body, treatment and device volumes to DICOM CT and RTSTRUCT data. The synthetic CT data and contoured volumes were imported into Varian Eclipse, where catheters were designed, and dwell positions and times optimised for dose coverage of the treatment volume. The lack of in-ternal anatomy did not compromise dose calculations, due to clinical use of a TG43 based algorithm. Once 3D printed, molds can be imaged in-situ during CT simulation, and reconstructed, for clinical dose calculation and plan approval.
