Redefining the limits of 3D medical study: Anatomage expands into clinical obesity and more interactive physiology. Oct 14, 2026, 09:37 ET SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Anatomage Inc., a market leader in medical visualization and education technology, is introducing its latest Anatomage Table platform update, with new obesity reference bodies, more real-human-based physiology simulations, and interactive learning activities, expanding the scope of what can be studied and explored in medical education. With more than 15 years of continual refinement, Anatomage continues to introduce increasingly detailed anatomical content, functional physiology, and clinical applications designed to support education and clinical training, and the latest platform update builds on this foundation, introducing new ways to examine the human body. One of the most substantial additions is a pair of new reference bodies representing Class I Obesity (BMI 30-34.9) and Class III Obesity (BMI above 40), based on World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) classifications. Designed as comprehensive 3D anatomical references for the study of clinical obesity, these models represent one of the first resources of its kind for examining the anatomical changes associated with obesity in a full-body, interactive format. With this disease affecting approximately one in eight people worldwide, these reference bodies provide an opportunity to compare the anatomy of obesity with normal anatomical structures and relationships, revealing changes that extend well beyond external appearance. Developing these reference bodies required extensive scientific research and medical imaging to accurately represent both external and internal anatomical changes associated with obesity. Visible changes include skin folds, stretch marks associated with mechanical stress from increased tissue volume, and substantial increases in subcutaneous and visceral fat, which can displace and compress surrounding organs. Deeper anatomical changes include muscle hypertrophy and myosteatosis, liver changes associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), and ovarian changes associated with polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). Instead of depicting obesity solely through differences in body size or fat distribution, the models incorporate changes across multiple systems and regions, giving students a more realistic understanding of the range of bodies they may encounter in clinical practice. This Table update also brings new interactive physiology simulations based on real human anatomy. Swallowing can now be examined from multiple perspectives, with more than 50 structures involved in the process represented in detail. Students can follow the coordinated movement through the oral cavity, pharynx, and esophagus using internal views that reveal the process from within the body. A simulated video fluoroscopic view adds a clinical perspective, connecting the anatomical sequence students see in 3D with the way swallowing is evaluated in medical practice. Sleep can be explored in a similarly dynamic way: The new sleep physiology simulation visualizes brain activity across the major stages of sleep, including awake, N1, N2, N3, and REM, and with the sleep apnea simulation, students can watch the airway collapse and reopen during obstructive sleep apnea while observing associated muscular movements and neural stimulation. The Anatomage Table update also includes: * Additional physiology simulations, exploring lymphatic physiology, hepatic physiology, alveolar gas exchange, muscle capillary exchange, neuromuscular junction, pancreatic secretion, reflex arcs, intestinal villi absorption, and placental exchange. * A new healthy male reference body that provides an additional standardized model for anatomical study. * New interactive exercises to challenge students, like building anatomical pathways in the correct sequence and identifying anatomical structures and sections within 3D renderings of real CT scans. * An expanded Multi-Body library, increasing opportunities to compare anatomy across individuals and explore the natural variation in human structures. * An enhanced ultrasound simulation with simultaneous comparison of 3D anatomy, 2D slice data, and a clinically realistic simulated ultrasound image. * State-of the-art real HiP-CT imaging scans, enhanced with Anatomage's 3D rendering technology. * Nearly 200 new histology slides. The latest iteration of the Anatomage Table software provides a more complete view of the human body, particularly in the context of clinical obesity. Students can move between individual anatomical variation, disease-related changes, clinical imaging, microscopic structures, and physiological processes, building connections across levels of anatomy and physiology that are often studied separately. By bringing structure, function, and clinical context into the same interactive environment, the Anatomage Table provides a deeper way to explore the complexity and multidimensionality of the human body, redefining the possibilities of 3D medical education. The update will be available for eligible Anatomage Tables at no additional cost.

Real life-size human anatomy in your hands with Anatomage Replica. Sep 03, 2026, 13:19 ET SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Anatomage Inc., a leader in medical visualization and education technology, today announced the launch of Anatomage Replica, a new line of 3D printed physical anatomy models based on real cadaver data. Designed to complement the company's exclusive real-human-based digital anatomy, Anatomage Replica provides access to highly accurate, durable physical anatomy models that can be explored repeatedly in the classroom, cadaver lab, and clinical training environments. Cadaver dissection remains an important component of medical education, giving students direct experience with real human anatomy; however, dissection is inherently a destructive and finite process, and structures cannot simply be restored or kept for repeated reference. Therefore, educators have long relied on tools like dry skulls and anatomy models to provide students with anatomy they can revisit throughout their studies. Plastinated models, a more detailed alternative, use specially preserved real human tissues to create dry, durable anatomical specimens that can be handled and studied. However, while plastination can preserve intricate anatomical details, these specimens can be fragile, expensive, and visually different from living or freshly preserved anatomy, with some specimens relying on painted or altered coloration to distinguish structures. The provenance and ethical sourcing of human specimens can also raise questions when individual anatomical parts are separated for commercial distribution. Anatomage Replica was developed to provide a better approach. Derived from the real-human-based anatomy represented in the Anatomage Table, Replica transforms Anatomage's highly detailed cadaver data into physical models using 3D printing technology. The Anatomage Table is well-known for delivering the most accurate and complete real human anatomy, with fully volumized digital bodies derived from real cadaver slices as well as highly accurate synthetic cadavers. Replica models preserve the visual characteristics and anatomical relationships represented in the source anatomy. Muscles, ligaments, and bones retain the appearance of the original frozen cadavers, while vascular structures and nerves are clearly defined and colored for easy identification. Removable outer layers reveal deeper structures, allowing students to explore internal anatomy through hands-on examination. The result is a physical representation designed to closely replicate the anatomy students encounter in Anatomage's digital environment, providing a unified, multi-modal learning experience that connects tactile exploration with digital visualization, helping educators make complex anatomy more accessible, engaging, and memorable. Durable, safe to handle, and reusable, Anatomage Replica brings the anatomy of real human organs into physical models that students can hold and study. The first Anatomage Replica set includes the heart, brain, hand, knee, and foot, each featuring detachable components that allow for deeper exploration of internal anatomy. Anatomists have been impressed by the cadaver-level detail and accuracy of the Replica models, which bring educators and students more of the anatomy they need into a physical format. By connecting the physical and digital worlds, Anatomage Replica gives students a consistent anatomical reference they can return to throughout their education. It offers the detail of human anatomy, the accessibility of a physical model, and the flexibility of digital visualization, which provides educators with a practical and ethical tool for hands-on anatomy education that is substantially more economical than plastinated human specimens.
