Digital Gross Anatomy Alexey Kashpersky 1

Alexey Kashpersky is a Ukrainian artist who created these impressive digital gross anatomy specimens using the program, ZBrush, along with a few other graphics tools. Many of the cadaver images were designed from real anatomical photographs, thus explaining the level of detail Alexey was able to achieve.

I think it would be great if medical students were given access to 3D Cadavers for learning purposes. I know this has been tried before, but not at this level of anatomical detail.

I’m also imagining a great application for Oculus Rift technology… Maybe surgeons could even go through mock surgeries to prepare for real cases.

The First Artificial Heart

February 14th, 2012 | Robot

The first artificial heart was implanted by surgeon Denton Cooley on April 4, 1969, at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital in Houston, TX.  The recipient, Haskell Karp, lived for nearly 3 days with the artificial heart until a real human heart was available for transplant.

The heart is not on display at the National Museum of American History, but Alexis Madrigal, from The Atlantic, gained access the storage closet shown below to get a closer look and snap the photos below.  The heart sits inconspicuously above the original capillary kidney.

The heart really does look like a World War I era gas mask, but it got the job done, and it proved that artificial hearts could be used successfully as a bridge to heart transplant.

The picture shown below is a top-view showing the four major valves: aortic, pulmonary, mitral, and tricuspid.

That day in Houston will no doubt be a pivotal moment in our history toward becoming cyborgs.
