An interactive three-dimensional approach to anatomical description

The laughing kookaburra skull

May 1, 2014

An interactive three-dimensional approach to anatomical description

Anatomy is inherently three-dimensional, but traditional descriptions of anatomy use a combination of text and 2D images. In this paper, the authors present a detailed study of the cranial musculoskeletal anatomy of the Australian Laughing Kookaburra and show how 3D models (derived from CT scans) can be generated, manipulated and studied, to the greater benefit of researchers. This approach provides considerable advantages which can be applied to a wide range of taxa -
