Abstract
A large number of students at UW have a need for innovative technology to help them understand the complex three-dimensional relationships of structures in the human body. These students include undergraduate students enrolled in anatomy through the Biology Department, as well as professional students in Medicine, Dentistry, Rehabilitation Medicine and Nursing. Large portable touchscreens would be placed in lab spaces and the library in the Health Sciences building and made accessible to students through key card access. The technology, Anatomy labs, uses high resolution CT and MR scans to digitize and reconstruct the human body and is being developed in partnership with UW Co-Motion labs. This software will also be available to students on tablets and personal devices.
