3D anatomy atlasOver 2,600 structures: bones, muscles, nerves, arteries, veins and organs. Peel the body layer by layer, tap any structure to see its name and a short description, and cut the body in any plane with a live simulated CT.Fracture guide59 fractures and dislocations on real 3D bones: displace and reduce them, see the same fracture on X-ray and CT, with classification and treatment.Guided lessons and ECG26 lessons: the model turns and lights up each structure while you read. The ECG lessons show which wall of the heart each lead sees and which artery is blocked in each infarct.For patientsExplain an injury and its operation in 3D and plain words, in the patient’s language, with a QR code to take home.
