Skull Base Atlas
A 3D skull base reconstructed from a thin-slice CT. Rotate and zoom to study the bony anatomy, then overlay the major neurosurgical approach corridors to compare their trajectories to a common target.
Slide left to shave off the skullcap and look at the solid bone in cross-section down to the base.
Surgical approaches
Pterional
Workhorse frontotemporal craniotomy centred on the pterion. Splits the Sylvian fissure to reach the suprasellar and parasellar cisterns, anterior circulation aneurysms, and medial sphenoid wing.

Reconstructed from a CT (bone surface geometry only; no DICOM metadata or patient data is embedded in the model). Approach corridors are anatomically-informed illustrations for teaching, not a surgical plan.
