In the 3D views tab, simply click on a folder to open it,
then select one of the 3D views contained within for it to be
displayed in the View pane.
Finding content – browsing
There are several ways to locate anatomical structures.
Firstly, you can browse the 3D views tab in the Browser pane.
Hovering over a
view’s title will show
a thumbnail preview
Select a view to study it
in the anatomy viewer

If you know the name, or part of
the name, of a structure you can
locate it using the Search feature.
Finding content – searching
You can also search for a structure by name.
Type your search term here
The 3D viewer will then
update to show that
anatomical structure
highlighted
The search results
will appear in a
Navigation window

The Structures tab lists only those structures included in
the current view. You can select a structure name from the
list to highlight that structure in the 3D anatomy viewer.
Identifying structures – the structures list
Alternatively, you can
select a structure in the
3D anatomy viewer and it’s
name will be highlighted
in the Structures tab list.
(Note that you may need
to scroll to locate the
highlighted entry)

Every 3D view features a sequence of images. These 3D
sequences usually take the form of rotations, enabling
you study the anatomy through 360 degrees.
You control the sequence playback using the
frame controls on the 3D viewer toolbar:

All 3D views also feature numerous layers.
You use the control buttons on the bottom
toolbar to Navigate through the layers.

Choose layer
Use Choose layer to jump rapidly through the layers

The zoom controls allow a closer look
at the model. Use the Reset zoom button
to quickly return to the default view.
Note that the image will become less sharp
as you zoom in. As an alternative to using
zoom, you may well be able to find a closer
view of the structure you are interested in
using the 3D views tab or by using the
Search feature.
You can save or print views, enabling you to
add them to presentations, lecture notes,
and learning management systems.
Views are saved and printed with a
transparent background.
You can choose from a wide range of
highlight colors, so that your selected
structure stands out from the those
around it.
The flip controls are useful when you want
to show the opposite side of the body, or
change the view’s vertical orientation.

Note that the MRI slides are
taken from a different
specimen to our 3D model –
therefore. due to anatomical
differences, the two views will
not match completely.
Main interface – MRI tab
The MRI tab features side-by-side viewing panes,
enabling you to compare our 3D model with
equivalent scans.
Structures selected in one
pane will highlight in the
other (if visible in both panes)
By default the layer buttons
control both panes
simultaneously.
However, you can unlink
them by toggling the
Link slices button – useful if
you cannot see a particular
structure in both panes.
Use these buttons to choose whether to
view the Axial, Sagittal or Coronal plane
In the MRI tab, the text
