Alex Morichon; Guillaume Dannhoff; Laurent Barantin; Christophe Destrieux; Igor Lima Maldonado – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Traditional teaching methods struggle to convey three-dimensional concepts effectively. While 3D virtual models and virtual reality platforms offer a promising approach to teaching anatomy, their cost and specialized equipment pose limitations, especially in disadvantaged areas. A simpler alternative is to use virtual 3D models displayed on…

Ethan P. McNaughton; Liam Bilbie; Matea Zuljevic; Lauren K. Allen; Daiana-Roxana Pur; Roy Eagleson; Sandrine Ribaupierre – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
In this article, we introduce a new virtual application that offers an interactive model of the brain for neuroanatomy education. Through a dual-platform architecture, the application can be downloaded on both desktop and mobile devices, with the mobile app leveraging unique capacities of modern handheld systems to deploy the brain model in…

Oliveira, André de Sá Braga; Leonel, Luciano César P. C.; LaHood, Edward R.; Hallak, Hana; Link, Michael J.; Maleszewski, Joseph J.; Pinheiro-Neto, Carlos D.; Morris, Jonathan M.; Peris-Celda, Maria – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Hands-on dissections using cadaveric tissues for neuroanatomical education are not easily available in many educational institutions due to financial, safety, and ethical factors. Supplementary pedagogical tools, for instance, 3D models of anatomical specimens acquired with photogrammetry are an efficient alternative to democratize the 3D…

Brewer-Deluce, Danielle; Bak, Alex B.; Simms, Abigail J.; Sinha, Sakshi; Mitchell, Josh P.; Shin, David; Saraco, Anthony N.; Wainman, Bruce C. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
As post-secondary education migrates online, developing and evaluating new avenues for assessment in anatomy is paramount. Three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology is one area with the potential to augment or even replace resource-intensive cadaver use in anatomical education. This manuscript details the development of a smartphone…

Li-Na Ma; Rui Peng; Jing-Ji Xu; Qing-Ling Yang; A-Ceng Li; Ye Han; Lei Yuan; Fan Shen; Dan-Qing Yin; Min-Wen Zheng; Ya-Yu Huang; Jing Ren – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
The traditional approach of using PowerPoint (PPT) presentations in medical imaging theory classes hinders the spatial thinking ability of most students. Consequently, the learning outcomes are often unsatisfactory. This article proposes a naked eye three-dimensional (3D) medical imaging teaching assistant app based on augmented reality (AR)…

Sotgiu, Maria Alessandra; Mazzarello, Vittorio; Bandiera, Pasquale; Madeddu, Roberto; Montella, Andrea; Moxham, Bernard – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Neuroanatomy has been deemed crucial for clinical neurosciences. It has been one of the most challenging parts of the anatomical curriculum and is one of the causes of "neurophobia," whose main implication is a negative influence on the choice of neurology in the near future. In the last decades, several educational strategies have been…

Moro, Christian; Štromberga, Zane; Raikos, Athanasios; Stirling, Allan – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2017
Although cadavers constitute the gold standard for teaching anatomy to medical and health science students, there are substantial financial, ethical, and supervisory constraints on their use. In addition, although anatomy remains one of the fundamental areas of medical education, universities have decreased the hours allocated to teaching gross…

Trelease, Robert B.; Nieder, Gary L. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2013
Web deployable anatomical simulations or "virtual reality learning objects" can easily be produced with QuickTime VR software, but their use for online and mobile learning is being limited by the declining support for web browser plug-ins for personal computers and unavailability on popular mobile devices like Apple iPad and Android…

Küçük, Sevda; Kapakin, Samet; Göktas, Yüksel – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2016
Augmented reality (AR), a new generation of technology, has attracted the attention of educators in recent years. In this study, a MagicBook was developed for a neuroanatomy topic by using mobile augmented reality (mAR) technology. This technology integrates virtual learning objects into the real world and allow users to interact with the…
