The authors describe their "Anatomy Browser," a Java applet designed for teaching human neuroanatomy. The browser allows interactive manipulation of three-dimensional (3D) neuroanatomic models on personal computers without specialized rendering hardware. The user can view models of the brain from several angles and can select structures to be annotated by name. The browser includes a hierarchical list of the structures that can be expanded or collapsed to control the level of detail displayed. In addition, the user can remove structures to view hidden objects and control the level of opacity of selected structures. The browser also provides a cross-reference between the 3D model and three different cross sections of the original magnetic resonance images. These interactive features, along with the accessibility of the browser on the World Wide Web, make it a valuable tool for teaching neuroanatomy.
