人体头颈和眼窝解剖学的教学是本科和研究生医学和联合卫生专业培训的重要组成部分，包括验光。虽然这种教学方法仍然主要以尸体解剖为基础，但在一些国家和区域，由于无法获得真实的人类尸体、尸体遗赠方案的费用、学生和工作人员的健康和安全以及现代课程中缺乏足够的时间，这种教学方法受到限制。许多选择眼科培训研究生途径的候选人，例如那些被英国皇家眼科学院、澳大利亚和新西兰项目以及美国眼科医师学会录取的人，作为成人学习者，被迫修改或重温人类眶解剖、眼部解剖和选择头颈部解剖区域。这些候选者通常面临着进入解剖尸体材料的设施的问题。方法针对这些困难，我们开发了一种适合教育和培训的高分辨率人体尸体轨道复制品的新方法。结果3D打印的尸体眼眶解剖图（上、侧、内侧视图）显示了一系列解剖特征。这些3D打印提供了许多优于塑化标本的优点，因为它们适合快速复制，因为它们不是人体组织，它们避免了与观看尸体标本相关的文化和伦理问题。此外，它们适合在世界任何地方的办公室、家庭、实验室或临床环境中使用，用于患者和医生教育。
Background The teaching of human head, neck and orbital anatomy forms a critical part of undergraduate and postgraduate medical and allied health professional training, including optometry. While still largely grounded in cadaveric dissection, this method of instruction is constrained in some countries and regional areas by access to real human cadavers, costs of cadaver bequest programmes, health and safety of students and staff and the shortage of adequate time in modern curricula. Many candidates choosing a postgraduate pathway in ophthalmological training, such as those accepted into the Royal Colleges of Ophthalmology in the UK, Australia and New Zealand programmes and the American Academy of Ophthalmologists in the USA, are compelled as adult learners to revise or revisit human orbital anatomy, ocular anatomy and select areas of head and neck anatomy. These candidates are often then faced with the issue of accessing facilities with dissected human cadaveric material.Methods In light of these difficulties, we developed a novel means of creating high-resolution reproductions of prosected human cadaver orbits suitable for education and training.Results 3D printed copies of cadaveric orbital dissections (superior, lateral and medial views) showing a range of anatomical features were created.Discussion These 3D prints offer many advantages over plastinated specimens as they are suitable for rapid reproduction and as they are not human tissue they avoid cultural and ethical issues associated with viewing cadaver specimens. In addition, they are suitable for use in the office, home, laboratory or clinical setting in any part of the world for patient and doctor education.
