Visible Human Dissector - Undergraduate Edition

生物科学(61)可视人体解剖(VHD)项目的目标是为本科教师和他们的学生提供一个高度可视化、交互式的探索工具，以增强他们教授和学习人体解剖学的能力。在目前的原型形式下，VHD允许用户在国家医学图书馆的可见人男性后备箱中三维显示、突出、解剖和识别结构及其属性和功能。该项目通过与科罗拉多州九所本科院校的合作，帮助开发并将这一独特的可视化、交互式工具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。学生们有机会以互动的、自我指导的方式对照片逼真的解剖学进行虚拟身体解剖，并提供测试和反馈选项。这是通过整合技术、创新软件和这一独特的数据集而实现的。现有的VHD原型是为医学生设计的，作为他们的人体大体解剖学课程的辅助工具。该项目的一个目标是将同样的技术整合到本科课堂中。选择这九所学校是为了涵盖不同类型的本科生。设计了形成性和终结性评估工具来评估VHD。教员版和学生版的可视人体解剖将在全国范围内发行。

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.
