Visible Patient Lab is specialized in 3D models creation representing human body anatomy. These accurate models are created from medical images (CT-Scan or MRI) and thus represent real clinical cases. VP Planning iOS allows to manipulate these models to identify anatomical structures quickly and precisely. Thanks to this app, healthcare professionals can simulate surgical acts and discuss them with other physicians, inform their patients but also educate their students. A free database of models is also available for demonstration purposes.
