[[3D model]]s of anatomical [[specimen]]s acquired with [[photogrammetry]] are an efficient alternative to democratize the 3D anatomical data. 

de Sá Braga Oliveira et al. described a technical guideline for acquiring realistic 3D anatomic models with photogrammetry and improving the teaching and learning process in [[neuroanatomy]]. Seven specimens with different sizes, cadaveric tissues, and textures were used to demonstrate the step-by-step instructions for specimen preparation, photogrammetry setup, post-processing, and display of the 3D model. The photogrammetry scanning consists of 3 cameras arranged vertically facing the specimen to be scanned. In order to optimize the scanning process and the acquisition of optimal images, high-quality 3D models require complex and challenging adjustments in the positioning of the specimens within the scanner, as well as adjustments of the turntable, custom specimen holders, cameras, lighting, computer hardware, and its software. [[MeshLab]]® software was used for editing the 3D model before exporting it to [[MedReality]]® (Thyng, Chicago, IL) and SketchFab® (Epic, Cary NC) platforms. Both allow manipulation of the models using various angles and magnifications and are easily accessed using mobile, immersive, and personal computer devices free of charge for viewers. Photogrammetry scans offer a 360° view of the 3D models ubiquitously accessible on any device independent of the operating system and should be considered as a tool to optimize and democratize the teaching of neuroanatomy
