Project Spotlight: Rodin's Hands
The Rodin Hand Surgery project was a unique collaboration between Cantor Art Museum, Stanford Hand Surgery, and the Division of Anatomy. Using computer technology, Rodin's hand sculptures were scanned and remade as computer generated graphics. Dr. James Chang, instructor of the seminar course, Surgical Anatomy of the Hand, uses these computer generated Rodin Hands to teach students hand anatomy, hand reconstruction, tissue engineering research, and transplantation.
