BoneLab helps users better understand the human body, specifically the skeletal system. With its 3D view and flexibility this program has very few flaws.
The interface of this program is simple enough that novice users will find their way around quickly. The three-dimensional skeleton is front and center and its view easily changed. The program's information is balanced by a series of tabs. Most users will not need the online Help file, however, because its depth will help clarify a lot. Users can choose a part of the body to look closer by navigating through the tab listing the specific areas of the human body. Users can also utilize a search function to find a specific bone or part of the body. The 3D skeleton is the highlight of this program. It's a well-drawn collection of bones that users can rotate for any view they choose by simply clicking and dragging their mouse. The different bones are listed and can be clicked on to add notes for yourself. One word of caution: if you accidentally change a bone's name, it does not return. The program's function is so dynamic that it does not offer any special features. One we would have liked to see is a way to zoom in our view to look at a bone's intricacy.
With a fantastic 3D view and simple navigation, BoneLab is a great freeware program that will help users study the human body.
Publisher's Description
From Next Dimension Imaging:
BoneLab is a teaching and learning tool for medical professionals, students and anyone who is interested in skeletal anatomy. It is based on the integrated human 3D skeleton model with the highest level of detail presently available. BoneLab is a free program for Windows XP. Students can interact with the 3D model and create new views, colorize it, add annotations and notes and save it. Instructors can use BoneLab to teach and present anatomical content to students and patients, using predefined views. A dictionary of annotation words is automatically maintained and helps to quickly access all views related to a specific anatomical term. By adding views and annotations, the personalized dictionary will grow and will adapt to individual anatomical content, language and learning habits. The BoneLab user interface is view-centric like Google Earth's. Very compact view files can be exchanged and distributed to other BoneLab users, which makes it a valuable tool for collaboration and distance learning.

Summary
Very good and simple program to view the skeletal system in glorious 3D. Only tested on XP. The program is highly recommended for educational institutions and for home use. It just works. If you get errors running the program make sure you have the latest drivers and that you graphics card supports the program.

"Does not work on Win7"

"A must have for starters."
Version: BoneLab 1.0.2.46
Pros
Free, straight forward, relatively easy to use.
Cons
Not very precise.
Summary
I'm in the first year of medicine, and I find this program really helpful. It's easy to use, the bones are easy to find, although sometimes it's a little bit hard to manipulate, and have the view that you want. It really helps to perceive the different bones in space and is a very good support for the drawings that i make in class. However, it's not precise at all: many details of many bones are there or are not very well made... It gives the program a sort of "cartoonish" feel if I might say. Nevertheless, it's really helpful as a start!

"Amazing free skeletal anatomy product!!!"
Version: BoneLab 1.0.2.46
Pros
I can't get the labels to display text but if you can right click and read them. The model viewing is incredible, there is panning and zooming, turn the model with the left, zoom with the right, and pan with both.
Cons
Instructions couldn't hurt.
Summary
Very nice product, incredible for free. I was looking for a 3d skeletal model for drawing purposes and I have looked at a lot of resources. This is absolutely the best resource in this category, esp for the money. There are other models and other anatomy sites for medical and scientific purposes, but if a skeleton is what you're looking for... well, I stopped looking after I downloaded this software.
