Visible Human Dissector - Undergraduate Edition

可视人体解剖器（VHD）项目的目标是为本科教师及其学生提供一个高度可视化的交互式探索工具，以提高他们教授和学习人体解剖学的能力。VHD，在其目前的原型形式，允许用户三维显示，突出显示，解剖和识别结构及其属性和功能的主干国家医学图书馆的可视人类男性。该项目通过与科罗拉多的九所本科院校合作，正在帮助开发这种独特的视觉交互工具，并将其整合到两年制和四年制本科院校提供的解剖学和生理学课程中。学生有机会以互动，自我导向的方式在照片般逼真的解剖结构上进行虚拟尸体解剖，并提供测试和反馈选项。这是通过技术，创新软件和这个独特的数据集的整合而实现的。现有的原型VHD是为医学生设计的，作为他们人体大体解剖学课程的辅助工具。该项目的目标是将同样的技术整合到本科课堂中。这九所学校被选中，以涵盖不同的本科类型的人口。形成性和总结性评估工具被设计用于评估VHD。可视人体解剖器的教师版和学生版将在全国分发。

Biological Sciences (61)The goal of the Visible Human Dissector (VHD) project is to provide a highly visual, interactive exploration tool to undergraduate instructors and their students that will enhance their ability to teach and learn human anatomy. The VHD, in its present prototype form, permits the user to 3-dimensionally display, highlight, dissect and identify structures and their properties and functions in the trunk of the National Library of Medicine's Visible Human Male. This project, through collaboration with nine undergraduate institutions in Colorado, is helping to develop and integrate this unique visual, interactive tool into anatomy and physiology courses offered by two-year and four-year undergraduate institutions. The students have the opportunity to perform a virtual cadaver dissection on photo-realistic anatomy in an interactive, self-directed manner, with testing and feedback options. This is made possible through the integration of technology, innovative software and this unique dataset. The existing prototype VHD was designed for medical student use as an adjunct to their human gross anatomy course. A goal of this project is to integrate this same technology into the undergraduate classroom. The nine schools were chosen to encompass a diverse population of undergraduate types. Formative and summative evaluation tools are designed to evaluate the VHD. Both an instructor and a student version of the Visible Human Dissector will be distributed nationally.
