Looking for a stunning new way to view human anatomy? Himmelfarb Library now offers BodyViz 3D Anatomy Software, an interactive program that draws from a database of digitized MRIs and CT scans to render extraordinary 360° anatomical views. Developmental and pathological views are also included in the software’s library. Students can “dissect, study, and visualize the human body from head to toe, just as they would in the cadaver lab."

How to reserve and access the workstation
The BodyViz workstation is located in the 3rd floor Levine Lounge, next to the glass-door entrance to the Bloedorn Technology Center. Its use is currently restricted to students, staff, and faculty who have physical access to Himmelfarb. Due to social distancing restrictions, the BodyViz space is currently limited to two concurrent users at a time. To help us maintain safe usage of the space, you will need to reserve a time slot in advance using our online reservation form. When you get to the library for your session, you will need to stop by the first floor Circulation Desk to check out the wireless keyboard and mouse for the workstation.
