What BodyViz is
BodyViz turns real MRI and CT imaging data into interactive 3D anatomy for virtual dissection and learning. The MyBodyViz library contains more than 1,000 anatomical studies, including human and veterinary scans. Students can peel back tissue layers, make repeatable non-destructive cuts, and undo them. Through the BodyViz Online Portal, Interactive Anatomy Content provides structured dissection activities, quizzes, and review modules. These modules can integrate with an institution’s preferred learning management system and support instructor progress monitoring. Instructors with the Pro software license can create course materials and activities. BodyViz supports high school, career and technical, undergraduate, graduate, medical and health sciences, and veterinary education. Listed platforms are iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. The maker says version 7.0 accommodates PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, tablets, and other hardware. BodyViz complements rather than replaces cadaver education.
