Virtual Dissection – Interactive Anatomy, Physiology and Radiology Learning
Date: 17 Sep 2022, Saturday | Time: 1005 - 1135 | Track Type: Main Conference Workshop | Format: Face-to-face | Venue: Duke-NUS
Speakers: Prof Fernando Bello, Mr Johan Susanto & Ms Ada Ang
Please note that this workshop is in high demand and is currently oversubscribed. All new registrants will be placed on a waiting list and will be notified by 9 September should there be available spots. Kindly accept our apologies that you will not be able to attend the workshop in the event you do not hear from us.
This workshop will introduce the Anatomage virtual dissection and visualisation table, an advanced virtual dissection table for anatomy, physiology, and radiology education. It consists of two large high-definition touch-enabled screens that can either be used together to provide a life-sized display, or independently to show different anatomical regions, specimens or a combination of imaging scans and histology sections. In addition to photorealistic visualisation, the Anatomage Table also offers unique touch interactive tools to rotate the virtual body and cut in any direction. After the cut, the cross section shows the details of the internal structure and users can scroll through the plane of the last cut or cut again to further explore the anatomy. The structures are made transparent to allow users to clearly visualise cardiovascular, nervous, and muscular structures.
Unlike a real body, a cut can be undone to restore the body instantaneously. Other functionality includes comparative analysis where up to three related cases can be viewed; blood flow simulation in any artery or vein; virtual arthroscopy to visualise anatomy within any joint; flythrough simulation to visualise internal cavities. The Anatomage Table supports group and self-assessments that includes quizzes and flashcards; origins and insertions that can be highlighted to represent relationships between skeletal and muscle systems; anatomy curriculum with an intuitiveinterface to review anatomy by region or by system, and classroom integration through its vertical operation mode and video output options.
During the workshop, you will learn the key functionality of the Anatomage Table, as well as have an opportunity to try out directly on the table. Potential uses and applications of the Anatomage virtual dissection table will be discussed, and participants will be encouraged to explore how they may use it in their own teaching and learning practice.
Learning Outcome(s):
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
Achievement of objectives will be measured through a post workshop questionnaire, informal qualitative discussions at the end of the workshop and a plan for a teaching session using the virtual dissection table.
Target Audience:
Healthcare educators who want to find out about virtual dissection and have a first-hand experience of this Technology Enhanced Learning approach, its affordances, and limitations. No prior knowledge or experience in virtual dissection is required.
