The Open Anatomy Browser (OABrowser) is a free, web-based tool for viewing 3D anatomical models and radiological images. It offers collaborative features for shared learning and research, with all data and tools available on GitHub.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy and Medical Imaging
  • Open Source Software Development

Background:

  • Current anatomy atlases often lack interoperability and advanced visualization features.
  • Web-based solutions offer accessibility and zero-installation benefits for users.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Open Anatomy Browser (OABrowser), an open-source, web-based platform for interactive anatomy atlas viewing.
  • To showcase OABrowser's capabilities in displaying 3D anatomical models and radiological data.
  • To highlight OABrowser's novel collaborative features for educational and research purposes.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a zero-installation, web-based anatomy atlas viewer utilizing current browser technologies.
  • Integration of interoperability standards for anatomy atlas data.

  • Implementation of collaborative tools including bookmarking and dynamic shared views.

    • Main Results:

    • OABrowser successfully displays 3D anatomical models, image cross-sections, and radiological imaging.
    • Collaborative features enable users to save, exchange, and interact with atlas views in real-time.
    • Demonstration atlases, including an MRI-derived brain atlas, showcase the viewer's functionality.

    Conclusions:

    • OABrowser provides an accessible, collaborative, and feature-rich platform for exploring anatomical data.
    • The open-source nature of OABrowser and its associated data promotes wider adoption and development in anatomical research and education.
    • Freely available source data, processing tools, and viewer code on GitHub facilitate community contribution and customization.
