Anatomical specimens provide an invaluable resource for teaching, however, many of these specimens are fragile and irreplaceable. Modern visualisation techniques may aid in the preservation and safekeeping of such delicate materials while also facilitating wider access for teaching.

This project aimed to digitise human juvenile skulls from the University of Glasgow’s, Museum of Anatomy, with a view to creating an interactive 3D application (app) to aid student learning of the growth and development of the juvenile craniofacial skeleton.
