由于各种原因，在人体解剖学教学中，新的放射成像技术正在取代传统的身体解剖。作者简要回顾了这种转变背后的历史力量，然后探索了每种方法的优点和缺点。身体解剖提供了对人体结构的积极、亲身的探索，提供了对人类化身和死亡的意义的深刻洞察，并代表了进入医疗职业的深刻仪式。放射成像允许活体可视化，提供生理学和解剖学见解，并代表当代执业医生最常遇到患者否则隐藏的内部解剖的背景。尽管放射学具有重要的优势，但它不能简单地替代身体解剖，最好的大体解剖学教学模式将同时包括身体解剖和放射成像。
For a variety of reasons, new radiological imaging techniques are supplanting traditional cadaver dissection in the teaching of human anatomy. The authors briefly review the historical forces behind this transition, and then explore the advantages and drawbacks of each approach. Cadaver dissection offers an active, hands-on exploration of human structure, provides deep insights into the meaning of human embodiment and mortality, and represents a profound rite of passage into the medical profession. Radiological imaging permits in vivo visualization, offers physiologic as well as anatomic insights, and represents the context in which contemporary practicing physicians most frequently encounter their patients' otherwise hidden internal anatomy. Despite its important strengths, radiology cannot simply substitute for cadaver dissection, and the best models for teaching gross anatomy will incorporate both cadaver dissection and radiological imaging.
