Thanks!

It looked serious for a while but currently everything seems fine.

Yes df3 would have been an option. Using the image stack was simply
the way of least resistance (least work for me at the moment) and it
renders quite fast too.

It is a front view but difficult to tell with this "transparent
data. In fact the back view can be recognized by the scan bed that
is also included in the data.

I think that was a misunderstanding, I did not intend to publish
the DICOM files or derived data sets. I think the render itself is
not so problematic and unsuitable for medical diagnostics. Also it
is a clean scan and should only serve to show off my health ;)
