Development of an Anaglyph Anatomical Atlas of Rabbit as a New Generation of Printable 3D Anatomical Atlases

Introduction: To improve anatomical atlases, we tried to create a printable 3D atlas of rabbitʹs anatomy based on the Anaglyph. Methods: In this study, twenty white rabbits euthanized and dissected. All 3D images were reconstructed by means of "stereo photo maker (SPM®)" software. Results: By this atlas, users can easily understand nomenclature, the topography and, certainly, the transposition of the anatomical structures in each image even if they are not at the dissecting room. Conclusion: The novelty of this atlas may encourage students to spend more time and concentrate on the material more as opposed to the classical atlases, thereby, leading to better understanding of anatomy. It is worth mentioning that this atlas has been prepared as an example for other works.
