Creating a Visible Body Account
Visible Body, also known as VB, offers a vast collection of over 24,000 visual assets through its suite of applications. This includes male and female 3D gross anatomy models, micro-anatomy models, moving muscle action models, physiology animations, pathology visualizations, illustrations, and cadaver images with CT or MRI scans. UIW personnel can access these apps free of cost, but they need to have a UIW Visible Body account to do so. A few things to keep in mind while using Visible Body at UIW are:
- Your account only needs to be created once.
- You must create your Visible Body account through the dedicated UIW Visible Body portal in this guide or on the HPS library sites. Using a link found by searching Google will not grant you access to Visible Body.
- You must use the dedicated UIW Visible Body portal to log in to your account.
To create a UIW Visible Body account:
-
Launch the UIW Visible Body portal.
- If prompted, sign in with your Cardinal Apps email and password.
- Click "Don't have an account? Sign up"
- Enter your information. Make sure to use your UIW email address.
