Radiology-Head iPad app Developed by Dr Kevin Murphy

7 Feb 2014

Congratulations to Dr Kevin Murphy, who has developed 'Radiology-Head' an iPad radiology app in association with the medical software company 3D4Medical.

 

Dr Murphy is a College Lecturer of Anatomy & Radiology in the Department of Anatomy & Neuroscience, he believes that this app will prove invaluable for clinical reference and patient education. It will be an important resource for medical doctors, healthcare professionals and students preparing for exams. It may also be helpful for patients with neurological diseases and their families in gaining a deeper understanding of their illness.

In the app Radiology-Head, anatomically identical scans of the brain are labelled to allow for comparison of the same anatomical landmarks on different scan types. It is possible to navigate through the head by pulling a 3D plane (Axial, Coronal or Sagittal) through a 3D head to virtually slice through the brain. The 3D Model of the head also allows the user to easily identify the orientation and location of the scan.

Dr Murphy along with former anatomy lecturer Dr Lee Crush, Professor Michael Maher & Dr Owen O'Connor from the UCC Department of Radiology worked closely with 3D4Medical to develop the app. 3D4Medical are world leaders in development of visually appealing medical apps for the iPad and iPhone.

The app Radiology-Head is available to purchase through iTunes.
