The Ultimate Human MediView is the world's first real-time, interactive anatomy viewer of the most complete and accurate set of 3D models of the human musculo-skeletal system. It is suitable for medical and educational related purposes and is the quintessential tool for any study of human anatomy.


It allows the user to view, select, hide and gain information on any area of the musculo-skeletal system in 3D space.
With the addition of the Cross Section tool (Transverse, Coronal and Sagittal), dissection type views are displayed to enhance anatomical, structures, relationships and promote better understanding of the human musculo-skeletal system anatomy.


The Ultimate Human MediView also allows three ways to find information on specific elements of the musculo-skeletal system.

  • List View - Alphabetical list of items

  • Tree View - isolate groups via windows explorer tree type hierarchy navigation

  • Search Function - Search for specific items

 

The model conforms to the ideal male caucasian form as best as current public and proprietary medical data sets can determine. The model set is perfectly matched with no interpenetrating components - even when there are multiple layers of joint sheaths! Relative surface accuracies are within 0.1mm in real world scale. It took over 15 man years of work to construct the model set - even with proprietary software tools written to facilitate the process. Over half of the team making the model were medical and related anatomy experts - this ensures that the model set is as accurate as it can be with current medical science.
