The Anatomage Table, popularly referred to as the Virtual Cadaver Table, is a fully segmented real human 3D anatomy system that allows students to perceive anatomy as if they were looking at a fresh cadaver. The cadavers created by Anatomage are identical to real cadavers, and the ultra-high quality (UHQ) visualisations deliver photorealistic anatomical structures in accurate 3D. As a result, anatomy is presented as a fully interactive, life-sized touch screen experience, allowing for exploration and learning of human anatomy beyond what any cadaver could provide, resulting in improved conceptual and spatial comprehension of the human body.
Learning becomes more student-centered and engaging when curriculum is aligned with effective technology. Digital cadavers yield a deeper understanding and this life-size 3D interactive table is the most technologically advanced digital visualization system for anatomy education.
Students can use the table's touchscreen for Interactive Dissection, which allows them to rotate structures, make multiple cuts, and undo any cut in real time. Real Patient Clinical Cases can be reviewed and rendered in full 3D and associated 2D slicing. Blood-Flow Simulation and Spatial Display of External and Internal Anatomy from head to toe is also highlighted. More than 1300 clinical cases and scans are available in the Digital Anatomy Library. The Clinical Case Library contains structural relationships and visualisations of rare and unique pathologies. Visualization of Cardiovascular, Nervous and Muscular Structures is enabled with an in-depth view of major structures such as the heart, lungs, abdomen and pelvis (which are difficult to see in cadaver).
It's never been easier to integrate radiology. With 3D rendering and real scan data, students may analyse scans and learn pathology. This early exposure to clinical images makes students understand the value and purpose of CT imaging in patient diagnosis.
Medical education is continually evolving, and health professionals who are expected to meet global quality standards should be trained employing world-class, innovative and technology-oriented techniques. AUB is committed to providing its students with the best learning opportunities and this new pedagogical tool is sure to enhance student learning.
