According to one embodiment, the adjustable anatomy table includes a display configured to visualize the anatomy in a real size, a base configured to support the display, and an adjustable mechanism that mechanically couples the display to the base. The adjustable mechanism is configured to adjust a position of the display relative to the base. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An imaging system comprising: a display configured to visualize an image of an anatomy in a 1:1 life size of a patient, wherein the display has long sides and short sides; a base configured to support the display; and an adjustable mechanism that mechanically couples the display to the base, wherein the adjustable mechanism is configured to provide a plurality of adjustable positions of the display relative to the base, wherein the plurality of adjustable positions include a horizontal position in which the long sides and short sides of the display are in parallel to a ground at a same height and an upright position in which a first short side and a second short side of the short sides of the display are in parallel to the ground at different heights. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of adjustable positions further include an an upright position in which a first short side and a second short side of the short sides of the display are in parallel to the ground at different heights. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the adjustable mechanism is a tilting mechanism that is configured to tilt the display from the horizontal position to the upright position. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the adjustable mechanism further includes a rotational mechanism that is configured to rotate the display about a rotational axis. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the height adjusting mechanism is configured to adjust a height of the display in the horizontal position. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the anatomy is a human anatomy, and wherein the display is configured to visualize the human anatomy from a head to a toe of the patient. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the imaging system is configured to receive an input from a user, and wherein the input from the user comprises an input to dissect, rotate, zoom, or pan the image. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the display is a touch-sensitive display. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the image is obtained from a medical scanner that is selected from a group comprising a computed tomography (CT) scanner, magnetic resonance (MR) scanner, a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner, a single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scanner, an ultrasound scanner. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the image is obtained from slices of a human body by slicing a cadaver. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the image is obtained from photographs of cross sections of a human body. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the image is a radiology reformatted slice image in a gray scale or in a color scale. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the image is a multi-planar reformatting (MPR) image. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The imaging system of claim 1, wherein the image is a three-dimensional (3D) volumetric image. ### Claim 15 A method comprising: providing an imaging system comprising a display, a base, and an adjustable mechanism, wherein the display has long sides and short sides, and the adjustable mechanism mechanically couples the display and the base of the imaging system; displaying an image of an anatomy on the display of the imaging system; and positioning the display at a plurality of adjustable positions relative to the base using an adjustable mechanism, wherein the display is configured to visualize the image of the anatomy in a 1:1 life size of a patient, wherein the plurality of adjustable positions include a horizontal position in which the long sides and short sides of the display are in parallel to a ground at a same height and an upright position in which a first short side and a second short side of the short sides of the display are in parallel to the ground at different heights. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the adjustable mechanism further includes a tilting mechanism that is configured to tilt the display from the horizontal position to the upright position. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the adjustable mechanism further includes a rotational mechanism that is configured to rotate the display about a rotational axis. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the anatomy is a human anatomy, and wherein the display is configured to visualize the human anatomy from a head to a toe of the patient. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the image is obtained from one or more of 1) a medical scanner, 2) slices of a human body by slicing a cadaver, 3) photographs of cross sections of a human body, 4) a radiology reformatted slice image, and a multi-planar reformatting (MPR) image. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the image is a three-dimensional (3D) volumetric image.
