\"digitalGross anatomy students can peel back the layers of a human body with the use of a video game controller.<\/p>\n

A digital anatomy laboratory in the Health Science Center\u2019s newest building, the Academic Learning & Teaching Center, allows students to view CT scans and MRI images of normal and diseased bodies and view them in 3-D. It\u2019s all controlled through the use of a video game controller attached to a laptop computer.<\/p>\n

Students can rotate images, zoom in and out, add filters to isolate certain tissues and generate a virtual cross-section in any plane. The images are projected onto multiple screens in the lab, and 3-D goggles allow the images to come to life.<\/p>\n

The lab contains 84 stations for student learning and will be used to reinforce the concepts and anatomical relationships that students are taught in gross anatomy labs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis visualization system enhances the educational experience beyond what we can do in the gross anatomy lab,\u201d said Omid Rahimi, Ph.D., director of the human anatomy program and a Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of Cellular and Structural Biology. \u201c[In a typical lab] you can\u2019t pick up a set of blood vessels in isolation of other tissues and rotate them in front of your face. This tool allows students to do that. We are certainly excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lab, one of only a few in the country, will complement students\u2019 understanding of the structure and function of organs, bones, muscles, nerves and tissues they are studying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
