Krause, Kayla J.; Mullins, Drew D.; Kist, Madison N.; Goldman, Evan M. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Virtual reality (VR) is an increasingly available resource with numerous applications to medical education, and as a teaching tool has been widely validated in the literature. Photogrammetry, the process of overlapping two-dimensional (2D) photographic images of three-dimensional (3D) objects to create a 3D image or "model," can be used…

Sajjad Salimi; Zahra Asgari; Amirreza Mohammadnejad; Ashkan Teimazi; Mitra Bakhtiari – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2024
Anatomy is the cornerstone of medical education. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies are becoming increasingly popular in the development of anatomy education. Various studies have evaluated VR and AR in anatomy education. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of VR and AR in anatomical education. The…

Anatomy forms the foundation for the training and execution of routine surgical procedures. However, a gap persists in effectively bridging anatomical knowledge with the confident performance of procedures. Virtual simulation (VS) techniques, based on experiential and situated learning theory, hold promise in addressing this challenge.…

Bölek, Kerem A.; De Jong, Guido; Van der Zee, Catharina E. E. M.; Cappellen van Walsum, Anne-Marie; Henssen, Dylan J. H. A. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
The use of augmented reality (AR) in teaching and studying neuroanatomy has been well researched. Previous research showed that AR-based learning of neuroanatomy has both alleviated cognitive load and was attractive to young learners. However, how the attractiveness of AR effects student motivation has not been discovered. Therefore, the…

Júlio Panzera-Gonçalves; Cleida Aparecida Oliveira – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2025
Learning Cell Biology is challenging for both sighted and visually impaired students due to its abstract nature and reliance on bidimensional depictions in textbooks, which often fail to capture the biological complexity of cell structures and functions. To implement inclusive learning environments and address the shortage of learning materials…

Moro, Christian – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2023
Of the many disruptive technologies being introduced within modern curricula, the metaverse, is of particular interest for its ability to transform the environment in which students learn. The modern metaverse refers to a computer-generated world which is networked, immersive, and allows users to interact with others by engaging a number of senses…

Dental anatomy is an integrated, core fundamental dental course, which prepares students for all future clinical dental courses. This study aimed to build up an online dental learning platform of micro-computed tomography-based three-dimensional (3D) tooth models with pulp cavity, and to further evaluate its effectiveness for dental anatomy…

Vandenbossche, Vicky; Van de Velde, Joris; Avet, Stind; Willaert, Wouter; Soltvedt, Stian; Smit, Noeska; Audenaert, Emmanuel – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
High-fidelity anatomical models can be produced with three-dimensional (3D) scanning techniques and as such be digitally preserved, archived, and subsequently rendered through various media. Here, a novel methodology--digital body preservation--is presented for combining and matching scan geometry with radiographic imaging. The technique…

Nan Zhang; Hongkai Wang; Tianqi Huang; Xinran Zhang; Hongen Liao – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
Trunk anatomy education is critical in the training of the surgeon. Most trunk anatomy education systems use a personal or synthetic anatomical model. It remains difficult to obtain appropriate population anatomy information and create individualized anatomy customization based on a quantity of diverse data. Furthermore, the naked-eye virtual…

Ho, Simon; Liu, Pu; Palombo, Daniela J.; Handy, Todd C.; Krebs, Claudia – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2022
The use of mixed reality in science education has been increasing and as such it has become more important to understand how information is learned in these virtual environments. Spatial ability is important in many learning contexts, but especially in neuroanatomy education where learning the locations and spatial relationships between brain…

Bogomolova, Katerina; Sam, Amir H.; Misky, Adam T.; Gupte, Chinmay M.; Strutton, Paul H.; Hurkxkens, Thomas J.; Hierck, Beerend P. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2021
In anatomical education three-dimensional (3D) visualization technology allows for active and stereoscopic exploration of anatomy and can easily be adopted into medical curricula along with traditional 3D teaching methods. However, most often knowledge is still assessed with two-dimensional (2D) paper-and-pencil tests. To address the growing…

Fine needle puncture (FNP) is a widespread technique used to collect cellular samples. Its efficiency can be enhanced by the use of ultrasonography to guide the procedure. Ultrasound-guided FNP is therefore an operator-dependent exam. For this reason, it demands the acquisition of psychomotor skill, ability to recognize structures, and dexterity…

Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (AANZ) medical schools have been impacted by curricular changes and the introduction of virtual microscopy (VM). No survey has explicitly described the outcome of these events on histology education in AANZ. This study provides a cross-sectional overview of histology education in accredited medical schools across…
