With an ever‐expanding use of cross‐sectional imaging for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, there has also been an increase in the need for exposure to such radiological and anatomical views at the undergraduate and postgraduate level to allow for early familiarisation with the relevant anatomy. Cadaveric cross‐sections offer an excellent link between the two‐dimensional radiological images and the three‐dimensional anatomical structures. For such cross‐sections to be useful and informative within educational settings, they need to be: (i) safe for students and trainees to handle and (ii) robust enough to withstand repeated handling; as well as (iii) displaying anatomy clearly and accurately. There are various ways in which cross‐sections can be prepared and presented; plastinated, potted, vacuum‐sealed or unmounted. Each of these approaches has advantages and disadvantages in terms of technical complexity, cost and quality. As an alternative to the above methods and their limitations, we propose the presentation of cadaveric cross‐sections in a transparent polyester resin. This technique has been used extensively in craft and artistic industries, yet it is not publicised in anatomy teaching settings. The sections were layered in polyester resin contained within a mould. The set resin required finishing by sanding and polishing. The final cross‐sections were safe to handle, durable and maintained excellent anatomical relationships of the contained structures. The transparency of the set resin was water‐clear and did not obstruct the visibility of the anatomy. The cost of the process was found to be significantly lower, requiring less infrastructure when compared with alternative methods. The following trivial technical difficulties were noted during the resin‐embedding process: trapped air causing organs to float; retained water in the anatomical specimens creating bubbles and discoloration; and microbubbles emerging from the solution affecting the finished surface. However, solutions to these minor limitations have been discussed within the paper with the aim of future proofing this technique. The sections have been used in undergraduate medical teaching for 4 years and they have shown no signs of degradation or discoloration. We believe that this method is a viable and cost‐effective alternative to other approaches of displaying cross‐sectional cadaveric material and will help students and trainees bridge the gap between the traditional three‐dimensional anatomy and two‐dimensional images.  相似文献

Aim  To compare the cross-sectional morphologic features of successive thin-layers and CT images of the basal cistern and its application in the diagnosis and management of acute craniocerebral traumas. Materials and methods  Successive thin-layer cross-sectional images of the basal cistern were retrieved from the second Chinese visible human (CVH) data set and observed. A total of 40 healthy volunteers were subjected to 64-slice spiral CT scan of the head, and CT images of the basal cistern were compared with CVH images. A total of 413 patients with acute craniocerebral traumas were subjected to 64-slice spiral CT scan of the head, CT image changes of the basal cistern were observed. Results  Thin-layer cross-sectional images retrieved from the CVH data set clearly displayed the sectional anatomic morphology, morphologic change pattern and important adjacent structures of the basal cistern. The quadrigeminal cistern was pateriform or sellaeform; the suprasellar cistern was hexagonal or pentagonal star-shaped; the ambient cistern encircled both sides of the brainstem like an arc band. CT images of the quadrigeminal and ambient cisterns were similar with their CVH images; however, the morphology of the suprasellar cistern changed substantially. In 413 patients with acute craniocerebral traumas, the basal cistern may be normal, or presented with narrowing, obliteration, shift, hematocele, and pneumatosis. Narrowing or obliteration of the basal cistern occurred mostly at the side of dominant intracranial lesions, and frequently occurred in patients with diffuse axonal injury or combination of SDH + CONT + ICH. Conclusions  Thin-layer cross-sectional images of the basal cistern retrieved from the CVH data set correspond satisfactorily to CT images of the basal cistern. Comparison of the two types of images can provide a sectional anatomic basis for the image identification of acute craniocerebral traumas. A careful observation on the initial CT images of the basal cistern for anatomic morphologic changes will help diagnose acute craniocerebral traumas early, improve the management, and appropriately predict the prognosis of the condition.  相似文献

The value of teaching sectional anatomy to improve CT scan interpretation   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
A specific course on sectional anatomy was developed to help medical students improve their knowledge of cross-sectional imaging. The educational methodology consists of identifying anatomical structures displayed in plastinated sections from human cadavers and corresponding anatomical structures in computed tomography (CT) sections from healthy patients. The course has a self-study format. To assess and verify the impact of learning sectional anatomy on radiological knowledge, students were asked to identify ten anatomical structures in CT images. This test was applied to two groups of students: Group I had been taught sectional anatomy with CT images 2 years before the test; Group II had not received instruction in sectional anatomy prior to the test. Analysis of the results revealed a significant difference in test scores (median percentages of correctly identified structures) between Group I and Group II, with scores of 100% and 63.4%, respectively. These results provide evidence that the inclusion of sectional anatomy training in medical school curricula has a great impact on subsequent CT interpretation.  相似文献

We have applied high-quality medical imaging techniques to study the structure of the human ankle. Direct volume rendering, using specific algorithms, transforms conventional two-dimensional (2D) magnetic resonance image (MRI) series into 3D volume datasets. This tool allows high-definition visualization of single or multiple structures for diagnostic, research, and teaching purposes. No other image reformatting technique so accurately highlights each anatomic relationship and preserves soft tissue definition. Here, we used this method to study the structure of the human ankle to analyze tendon–bone–muscle relationships. We compared ankle MRI and computerized tomography (CT) images from 17 healthy volunteers, aged 18–30 years (mean 23 years). An additional subject had a partial rupture of the Achilles tendon. The MRI images demonstrated superiority in overall quality of detail compared to the CT images. The MRI series accurately rendered soft tissue and bone in simultaneous image acquisition, whereas CT required several window-reformatting algorithms, with loss of image data quality. We obtained high-quality digital images of the human ankle that were sufficiently accurate for surgical and clinical intervention planning, as well as for teaching human anatomy. Our approach demonstrates that complex anatomical structures such as the ankle, which is rich in articular facets and ligaments, can be easily studied non-invasively using MRI data.  相似文献

There are no available detailed data on the three‐dimensional courses of the human superior alveolar nerves and vessels. This study aimed to clarify the relationships of the maxillary sinus with the superior alveolar nerves and vessels using cone‐beam computed tomography (CT) combined with μ‐CT and histological analyses. Digital imaging and communication in medicine data obtained from the scanned heads/maxillae of cadavers used for undergraduate/postgraduate dissection practice and skulls using cone‐beam CT were reconstructed into three‐dimensional (3D) images using software. The 3D images were compared with μ‐CT images and histological sections. Cone‐beam CT clarified the relationships of the maxillary sinus with the superior alveolar canals/grooves. The main anterior superior alveolar canal/groove ran anteriorly through the upper part of the sinus and terminated at the bottom of the nasal cavity near the piriform aperture. The main middle alveolar canal ran downward from the upper part of the sinus to ultimately join the anterior one. The main posterior alveolar canal ran through the lateral lower part of the sinus and communicated with the anterior one. Histological analyses demonstrated the existence of nerves and vessels in these canals/grooves, and the quantities of these structures varied across each canal/groove. Furthermore, the superior dental nerve plexus exhibited a network that was located horizontally to the occlusal plane, although these nerve plexuses appeared to be the vertical network that is described in most textbooks. In conclusion, cone‐beam CT is suggested to be a useful method for clarifying the superior alveolar canals/grooves including the nerves and vessels.

We present an online anatomy atlas based on the Visible Human Project (VHP) of the US National Library of Medicine. The objective is to provide original unlabeled as well as labeled sections of the human body of high quality and resolution on the Internet, for use in basic and continuing medical education. For a representative overview of the body, 370 axial sections were selected from the male and female data base of the VHP with special regard to regions of clinical interest. Each section is accompanied by its corresponding computer tomography (CT) image and, if available, magnetic resonance images (MRI) for quick and easy comparison of morphologic and radiologic structures. The sections can be studied unlabeled or labeled according to the current Terminologia Anatomica. A linked vocabulary with more than 850 terms explains the labeling. Animations of the sections as well as of CT and MR images allow for further visualization of the topographic relationships of anatomical structures. The responses to the project indicate that students and physicians regard the Internet Atlas of Human Gross Anatomy as a most useful aid for learning and reviewing anatomical details. The atlas is accessible on: http://www.uni-mainz.de/FB/Medizin/Anatomie/workshop/vishuman/Eready.html.  相似文献
