Anatomy education in medical undergraduate curricula traditionally depends on the provision of human tissues, which involve significant infrastructural and personnel resources. More importantly, a gap involves between traditional teaching approaches and contemporary technology. To address this challenge, virtual tools offer one promising approach by providing a realistic spatial learning experience, particularly fulfilling the needs of universities lacking the provision of post-mortem facilities for anatomy teaching. This given project explores three technical scenarios integrating virtual tools into anatomy teaching. Scenario #1 utilizes live-rendered three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) models for large student cohorts, Scenario #2 live 3D-broadcasting of anatomical dissections to a large audience. Scenario #3 focuses on the provision of digitizing anatomical models for online access. Visual use cases and organizational concepts were developed to streamline implementation and logistics. Initial feedback suggests acceptance and potential effectiveness in enhancing anatomy teaching. These findings highlight the value of integrating virtual tools into traditional anatomy education methods.

摘要

Anatomy education in medical undergraduate curricula traditionally depends on the provision of human tissues, which involve significant infrastructural and personnel resources. More importantly, a gap involves between traditional teaching approaches and contemporary technology. To address this challenge, virtual tools offer one promising approach by providing a realistic spatial learning experience, particularly fulfilling the needs of universities lacking the provision of post-mortem facilities for anatomy teaching. This given project explores three technical scenarios integrating virtual tools into anatomy teaching. Scenario #1 utilizes live-rendered three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) models for large student cohorts, Scenario #2 live 3D-broadcasting of anatomical dissections to a large audience. Scenario #3 focuses on the provision of digitizing anatomical models for online access. Visual use cases and organizational concepts were developed to streamline implementation and logistics. Initial feedback suggests acceptance and potential effectiveness in enhancing anatomy teaching. These findings highlight the value of integrating virtual tools into traditional anatomy education methods.
