VOXEL-MAN 3D Navigator: Brain and Skull, Regional, Functional, and Radiological Anatomy

This product provides an introduction to the morphology, functional anatomy, and blood supply of the brain. It allows interactive exploration of a detailed 3D anatomical model of the human brain, and presents the radiological manifestation of normal anatomy in the context of 3D anatomy. Each structure is labelled and described, and can be explored directly on the screen. The product is based on various models, built on cross-sectional images obtained by computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. It contains more than 250 3D anatomical objects. In addition, images from the Visible Human Project were used. The skull, the brain with its constituents, functional areas, vessels, and blood supply areas may be investigated in 36 interactive scenes, 18 of which are also available in stereoscopic format (user must use red/green stereo glasses, included in the package). Using the mouse, the scene may be rotated, and objects may be added or removed. Anatomical objects may be marked, searched for, painted, annotated or described, and may be selected from an object list. A textual instruction illustrates the possibilities available for the chosen scene. The radiological manifestation of the objects can be viewed in the context of 3D anatomy. This includes simulated X-ray images, as well as maximum intensity projections and cross-sectional images from CT and MRI. The anatomical nomenclature is available in Latin, English, French, German and Japanese (French and Japanese only for the brain without vascular system). A manual is available in English and German.

Integrated approach and 3D interactive format. The program provides reference material. Suitable as reference material for medical students, professionals in all medical disciplines involving anatomy and radiology. Also suitable for non-specialists that are interested in exploring the inner structure of the human brain and skull using VOXEL-MAN 3D Navigator.
