Apps and iPads with 3D technology bring clinical anatomy to the cutting edge.
Contemporary anatomical education requires various resources found in the clinic, dissection room and radiology department. These so vary in availability that it is difficult for students to access them all in a time-efficient manner for easy learning. So how to integrate portable, handheld packages providing a method of learning anatomy, outside the conventional academic environment? Forty anatomy videos were designed, using the dissection room tutorial approach with prosecutions, using narrative and visual explanations - these were packaged into apple apps with “spotter” tests and MCQs on each 3-6 minutes video. Audio and on-screen text of anatomical terminology is used in conjunction with digital highlighting to emphasise the clinical relevance. Other anatomy apps of a complete radiology textbook on the iPad provide a widely accessible method for teaching integrated clinical “anatomy on the move”. Furthermore using 3D computing we have digitised our prosection collection and although technology cannot replace traditional learning, these innovations provide a unique educational opportunity for learning “on the move”, even in coffee breaks!
