| Course description |
This course will provide students with an excellent understanding of the use of visualisation techniques in relation to anatomy education. A range of topics focusing on the utilisation of visualisation as a teaching method will include the history of anatomical visualisation, advances in technology including the use of MRI and CT scans, the development of virtual reality, and how these developments aid or hinder anatomy education.
This course is designed to give students an understanding and overview of visualisation techniques in anatomy education.
The course will be divided into several areas, starting with the history of anatomical visualisation, the development of visualisation techniques during the enlightenment, the advances of technology and the application of virtual and augmented reality.
The aim of this course is to provide students with an advanced understanding of the use of visualisation techniques used to aid anatomy education for students, medical professionals and the general public.
Students will be encouraged to use online discussion boards to communicate, discuss and critically analyse different visualisation techniques.
