"3-D visualization is used all the time. But for the medical field it's a paradigm shift. And once doctors understand the basics of our software, they don't understand how they lived without it."  -- Eliot Winer, an Iowa State associate professor of mechanical engineering and an associate director of Iowa State's Virtual Reality Applications

Iowa State University engineers Eliot Winer, left, and James Oliver have developed technology that converts 2-D medical scans into detailed 3-D images that can be used to plan a surgery or teach a lesson in anatomy. They worked with Thom Lobe, a pediatric surgeon based at Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines, to establish a company, BodyViz.com, to market and sell the technology. Photo by Bob Elbert.
