Kellee Selden returned from the 2024 MLA Conference in Portand earlier in May to say that one of the most interesting things she saw there were these digital anatomy dissection tables by Anatomage in the vendor hall.
Derived from actual human cadavers, these tables are used by students to learn anatomy. These have been very popular with nursing students who would not actually get to take an official cadaver dissection class as medical students do.
You can click through layers of tissue from skin to bone or turn 3D images in any direction to get a better look. It's pretty amazing! Watch the video above ...
The tables are expensive at $80,000 for a large table, or $60K for the smaller ones. Donors often put up the cash for a learning environment.
These are fascinating technologies for sure. I attempted to get research support for studying these about 8 years ago and at that time Madison College had one. Not sure if this is still true...
