Abstract
A computer-implemented medical visualization method includes identifying a three-dimensional model of an anatomical item of a particular mammal; displaying a moving animation of the three-dimensional model, the moving animation created from multiple frames from imaging of the anatomical item over a short time period to capture movement of the anatomical item; displaying one or more non-moving views of the three-dimensional model while the moving animation is being displayed; and in response to receiving inputs from a user, changing the displayed moving animation and the one or more non-moving views automatically in coordination with each other.

(canceled)
A computer-implemented medical visualization method, comprising:
- identifying first and second three-dimensional models of an anatomical item of a particular mammal, wherein the first model is formed from imaging data taken at a first imaging session, and the second model is formed from imaging data taken at a separate, second imaging session;
- displaying a first view of the first model and a first view of the second model concurrently on a computer-generated visual display;
- receiving a user input indicating a change in visualization of at least one of the first model and the second model;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input, displaying a second view of the first model;
- wherein the second view of the first model reflects the indicated change in visualization.
A computer-implemented medical visualization method, comprising:
- identifying a three-dimensional model of an anatomical item of a particular mammal;
- receiving, at a first geographic site, first user input directed to the three-dimensional model and reflecting, via visual presentation of the three-dimensional model, changes to the three-dimensional model at the first geographic site and a second geographic site that is remote from the first geographic site;
- receiving, at the second geographic site, second user input directed to the three-dimensional model, and reflecting changes to the three-dimensional model at the second geographic site and the first geographic site.
