Anatomy List
As in any anatomy atlas, there is an index of all structures found in the model. The index is hierarchically organized and can be used for navigation and the selection of various elements as well.
History
It's easy to go back to previous views. Effigos Hoof Explorer stores a list of recent views, which you can browse via the history buttons just as in any web browser.
Multilingual
We currently support English and German. The names of anatomical structures can also be displayed in Latin.
Customizable
Explore the various program settings to create your desired look and feel, e. g. change the background color.
Structure Selection and Highlighting
Create a custom view of the model displaying only the structures of interest. Structures can be displayed either fully opaque, transparent or completely hidden.
Transparency Configuration
Using transparency is a powerful tool to display selected structures exclusively preserving the spacial context.
Search Function
Looking for any structures in particular? You can use the integrated search function looking for matches in the anatomical names. Use operators AND, OR, and NOT to refine search queries.
