The First Book on Digital Anatomy written in close cooperation between Physicians, Anatomists, and Computer Scientists,

Addresses the application of Extended Reality explicitly to Surgical and Clinical Practice through Training and Teaching,

Clarifies the classical approaches with the advantages brought by VR, AR, and MR;

Showcases recent VR, AR, and MR systems, techniques, and methods for digital anatomy.
