Abstract

Advances in technology have gone far beyond what was possible with cadaveric material. Virtual surgery can be carried out so that surgeons can practice new techniques and see the outcome before bringing it to the patient. Anatomy teaching has progressed with the use of 3D technology to new heights. However, it is time to introspect. These techniques are very cost intensive in the short term. Are they worth it long term? What implications do they have for us as anatomy teachers? In this paper we review the experiences of teachers using 3D methods over past few years. Various methods have been utilized; 3D graphic models, 3D Arthroscopy, 3D ultrasound, 3D videography , webbased 3D platform etc. The objective results seem to be equivocal when the results are considered en solatario. However, when considered en toto are very clear. 3D Anatomy has a definite place as teaching technology in the teacher’s arsenal, along with other techniques including CHALKBOARD. But in all these articles the subjective report by the students has been indicate that teaching-learning experience is more satisfactory using technology. We teachers have to accept the challenge so that we do not fall behind the technological and also we do not swept aside by younger persons in technical fields.

Key words: Medical Education; Computer Aided Teaching; Virtual Body; 3D Reconstruction.
