Anatomy education
• Illustrations:• Easily accessible• Idealized ‘average’ anatomy• Not interactive
• Current software:• Accessibility?• Idealized ‘average’ anatomy• Lacking detail• No link to 2D anatomy as
seen in medical imaging
• Dissections:• Limited availability• Real anatomy• Interactive

3D pelvic models
• Way to explore complex anatomy
• Survey of existing 3D pelvic models:
