All the anatomical illustrations are original and created by Micheau, Antoine - MD. They were drawn in Illustrator using 3D modeling derived from medical imaging (principally thoracic scan) or scannography sections of the thorax. The different anatomical charts are organized in their representation of the general anatomy of the mediastinum and thor...
300 anatomical structures were labeled on these diagrams of thoracic anatomy, accessible on the "Anatomical parts" tab: 1. Bones: principally ribs and sternum 2. Joints: the different joints of the thoracic cage (costosternal and costotransverse joints...) are presented 3. Ligaments: various ligaments uniting the dorsal vertebrae, ribs and sternum ...
