[iPad App] For Your Biologists: Living Lung™

[6Foot2]

Link: Living Lung™

 

Price: Free

 

The Living Lung™ app is compatible with the iPad 2 or newer. Due to extremely high-resolution models and textures, this app is not compatible with the first generation iPads.

 

The Living Lung™ is a real-time 3D medical education and patient communication tool, featuring incredibly detailed anatomical respiratory models. It is a member of a series of apps developed specifically for the iPad by a team of anatomists, certified medical illustrators, animators, and programmers using actual human CT imaging data, and the most accurate 3D modeling technology available.

 

 

The Living Lung™ is appropriate for use by secondary students, undergraduate and graduate students, and medical professionals.

Interaction with the Living Lung™ utilizes true real-time 3D. Unlike some other anatomical apps and programs, there are no pre-rendered frames or animations. Therefore, the user can place the incredibly detailed lungs, rib cage, and associated structures in any position and zoom in to any location to explore the anatomical features. Animated transparent structures aid in the exploration of the bronchi and related key vascular components. Bronchopulmonary segments can be highlighted and labeled on the lungs and the bronchopulmonary tree...

 

I don't have an iPad to try this on but it looks like it might be worth trying.
