App Profile: Surgical Anatomy of the Liver (iPhone)

This app is for trainees, medical students, instructors, and anyone that needs a quick way to learn or teach liver anatomy.

Take it with you into the OR or home to your easy chair. This hands-on tool allows you to mentally map the 3D anatomy of the liver in a way that was never possible with illustrations or imaging studies.

Emory Surgical Oncologist Shishir Maithel, MD, FACS, guided a certified medical illustrator in the process of digitally sculpting the anatomy to be both clear and accurate. The anatomy is a synthesis of radiographic, cadaveric, and surgical references, as well as hundreds of hours of liver surgery.
