Today’s episode explores what happens when advanced imaging, biomedical engineering, and digital design converge to create virtual cadavers so detailed, they rival the real thing.
Host Drew sits down with Nathan Loewke, a research scientist at Anatomage, the company behind the most sophisticated 3D anatomy platforms in the world. Nathan walks us through the astonishing process of transforming a real human body into a fully explorable digital model, starting with freezing and slicing the donor at microscopic precision, then photographing thousands of layers and digitally reconstructing them into a seamless 3D experience.
You’ll hear how these tools are revolutionizing medical education, allowing students, doctors, and researchers to explore anatomy from every angle, zoom in on the tiniest nerve, and interact with the body like never before, all without ever touching a scalpel.
It’s a fascinating conversation about the future of anatomy and what it means to digitize the dead.
