Your brain in your iPod

The first time I encountered a medical application for the iPod was when it was used to sync with Ositrix to load up pictures from CT or MRI scans so that they can be viewd anywhere using the video iPod. Now, with the release of the 5G iPod, things are about to get more interesting for Osirix users.

Another program that I encountered for the iPod to be used in medicine is from Sylvius. Sylvius VG (virtual glossary) iPod edition, "is a visual glossary of the human brain and spinal cord containing information on more than 400 neuroanatomical structures and terms." There's a free trial download that includes 29 structures. The program sells for $19.99 but has an introductory price of $9.99. I might just get one of these, when I get my 5G 30G iPod.
