University creates iPhone medical apps

Salt Lake City -- University of Utah researchers say they have created three iPhone applications that are designed to assist scientists, students, doctors and patients.

The researchers said their programs can display and manipulate 3D images of medical scans and can be used to study the human body, evaluate medical problems and analyze other 3D images.

-- AnatomyLab allows students to conduct a virtual dissection by providing images of a real human cadaver during 40 separate stages of dissection. The software, which sells for $9.99, was designed by biology Professor Mark Nielsen and two University of Utah students, including his son.
