As the specimen rotates lets you to see it as a fully three-dimensional object. View a sample video clip to experience the impact of this powerful imaging technique. The Video Atlas images are direct video recordings of real human anatomic specimens. The cadavers used were not stiffened or discolored by embalming. Their tissues retain the color, texture, and mobility of the living body.
Real movement.
Besides showing the structure of the human body in its natural beauty, the Video Atlas shows moving structures - muscles, tendons and joints - making the same movements that they make in life.
The dissections were done by skilled clinical anatomists, using the finest surgical techniques. Studio lighting accentuates the shape and definition of the structures. A black background enhances their outline.
In each part of the body, the Video Atlas starts with structures that give you the foundation for your understanding. The bones are shown first, then joints and their movements, then the muscles, and then the blood vessels and nerves. This is the reverse of the order that is seen in dissection, where the foundation is not understood until the end.
