Virtual Autopsy On a Multi-Touch Table Surface 72
An anonymous reader writes "Engadget points out one of the more interesting ways to use a multitouch table surface so far. Researchers at Norrkoping Visualization Centre and the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization in Sweden have fitted such a device with stunning, volume-rendered visualizations of high-resolution MRI data. If you've ever wondered what the inside of a human being really looks like, but lacked the grit or credentials to watch an autopsy in the flesh, check it out."

So, when will Virtual Surgeon for Wii be out?
Waiting with anticipation.
Will these suffice?

Which version doesn't devolve into a bunch of space-invader style minigames with matrix-style slow motion surgery?
What you miss at a real autopsy (Score:4, Informative)
I used to work at a hospital, and they let me sit in on one. What you miss is the yellow skin of corpses, and the fact that they still make noises from various orifices when you move the body parts.
The gall bladder really is green -- it's not an artifact of textbook coloring.
Everyone said I will get sick from watching a real autopsy, but it didn't feel any worse than watching a horror movie. I wore a mask, so didn't smell much.
