| 4:30 | Digital Anatomy for the 21st Century: Creating the Virtual Patient - Donald Hilbelink, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL dhilbeli@hsc.usf.edu |
| This symposium is designed to provide an historical perspective on the development and use of tridimensional tools for teaching anatomy and pathology and an understanding of newer, computer-based, techniques to create a virtual patient. The teaching of gross pathology and anatomy relies heavily on the availability of male and female bodies and normal as well as diseased organs. Due to the progressive decay of archived specimens, over the last centuries it has been necessary to develop techniques that would provide a repository of permanent specimens and complement or even replace cadavers with virtual ones. This symposium will discuss the evolution of such techniques including anatomical waxes, plastination and computer-assisted digital imaging. |
