SPL/NSL Anatomy Browser

AnatomyBrowser is an applet for viewing anatomical structures. It provides a convenient framework for combining different types of information: 3D models, original and segmented scans and textual information on the anatomical structures of interest.

Note that because of the limited network bandwidth it can take some time to download the applet. Even after it reports to be initialized, it takes several minutes for all the images to be displayed on the screen. For the same reason it is advisable to use the middle button on the mouse while using the scales, as it will reduce a number of times the images are updated. You can obtain a significant speedup by downloading the images and running the applet locally. Contact Polina Golland for more information on copyright issues and obtaining the necessary data.
