BOSTON (CBS) Human anatomy is one of the first courses a student has to take in medical school to study the bodys organs, nerves, vessels and more.
Human cadavers have always been used for this purpose and probably always will be but UMass Medical School now has a new, high-tech tool at their disposal which is giving doctors a view into the body like never before.
Third year medical students Scott Pascal and Pamela Lu are getting a lesson on human anatomy, but instead of dissecting a cadaver, theyre viewing the deep layers of the human body using this virtual anatomy table.
Going through anatomy, when you move from structure-to-structure, you often have to remove things and peel back things and when you get to the end of the block you want to go back to things you learned in the beginning. This would be amazing for that, Lu said.
Its full size and life-size and can do a lot of manipulation that other software cant do, Pascal said.
UMass is one of the first medical schools in New England to acquire one of these tablets. The technology cost them about $80,000.

29.04.2014 - (idw) Fraunhofer MEVIS - Institut fr Bildgesttzte Medizin
Bremen, April 29, 2014 The Fraunhofer Institute for Medical Image Computing MEVIS, headquartered in Bremen, will be under new leadership as of May 1, 2014. Prof. Horst Hahn, who has been the acting director of Fraunhofer MEVIS, will team up with Prof. Ron Kikinis, M.D., a renowned scientist at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, using a dual leadership model. Ron Kikinis is one of the leading figures in computer-supported medicine and has made a decisive impact on the field, says Hahn. We are pleased to have been able to recruit him to Fraunhofer MEVIS. Computer-supported medicine addresses the retrieval of meaningful, patient-relevant information from scans produced through modern imaging procedures. Diagnostic methods such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI now deliver an abundance of raw data that renders analysis without the support of special computer algorithms almost impossible. Such algorithms allow reliable and quick visualization of image content and extraction of quantitative clinical parameters. In addition to diagnosis, sophisticated computer programs are increasingly being used in therapy. One such use is the determination of dose distributions for optimized radiation treatment of cancer.
Ron Kikinis is one of the pioneers of computer-supported medicine. In 1990, he founded the Surgical Planning Laboratory (SPL) at Harvard Medical School in Boston. The research at the SPL resulted in the creation of an interdisciplinary team of doctors, computer scientists, and engineers researching new algorithms and developing novel medical uses for the technology under real-life conditions. The SPL was one of the first laboratories in the field to fully embed basic research in a clinical setting, says Kikinis. Many of the algorithms developed in the SPL have become part of the standard repertoire of scientists in the field of medical image computing.
Beginning in the 1990s, he launched the 3D Slicer project. 3D Slicer is a research platform used worldwide to analyze and visualize medical images and make software tools available based on the results of algorithm research. In order to expand the availability of medical image computing technology, Prof. Kikinis initiated the National Alliance for Medical Image Computing (NA-MIC), the leading network of research groups in computer-supported medicine in the United States.
In addition to his role in directing Fraunhofer MEVIS, he will be a professor of medical image computing in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Bremen.
Prof. Kikinis will retain his position and responsibilities at Brigham and Women's Hospital and commute between Bremen and Boston every two months. He intends to create new synergies by bringing American and European researchers closer together. On the technological front, he will work on enhancing interoperation between the 3D Slicer software package and MeVisLab so that prototypical solutions can benefit from the combined strengths of both software packages.
According to Horst Hahn, This gives Fraunhofer MEVIS increased access to valuable research resources that will ideally strengthen our institute. Hahn, a physicist who also holds a doctorate in computer science, was heavily involved in the transition of the institute from MeVis Research GmbH into an institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft in 2009. Hahn became acting director of the institute in 2012 following the retirement of the founding director of Fraunhofer MEVIS, Heinz-Otto Peitgen. Prof. Hahn will join Prof. Kikinis in leading Fraunhofer MEVIS. Hahn is professor of medical imaging at Jacobs University in Bremen.
On June 4, Fraunhofer MEVIS will mark the new leadership by holding a technically oriented open house event for interested visitors. From 12:00 until 17:00, MEVIS experts will show practical examples of computer support in medicine. These will include innovative applications for neurology, cardiology, minimally invasive tumor therapy, and breast and lung diagnostics. Visitors and members of the media are welcome to join and are asked to notify the institute in advance.

Chicago, Ill. (PRWEB) April 29, 2014
New Generation Power and Chairman, Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, are proud to announce a $30 million gift commitment on their behalf to help establish a state-of-the-art, Territory-wide medical school at the University of the Virgin Islands.
The generous gift comes one week after a unanimous vote by the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) Board of Trustees allowing the schools president, David Hall, to commence the development phase for the medical school that will partner with the Territorys two hospitals -- Schneider Regional Medical Center on St. Thomas and Juan F. Luis Hospital on St. Croix.
This is a historic day in the life of the University of the Virgin Islands and the Virgin Islands, said President Hall. Dr. Kathurias gift is the largest in the history of the University, and its impact will last for generations to come. Many Virgin Islanders will receive improved healthcare because of this generous gift, he added.
Discussion and planning for the medical school began in 2010 with the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM), which has been very instrumental in helping UVI move in this direction. Some BUSM students have been taking their fourth year electives at Schneider Regional Medical Center for the last two spring semesters.
The goal of the project is to develop a high-quality medical education program that relies heavily on the use of innovative teaching techniques, educational technology and community care training that produces knowledgeable and caring physicians committed to helping the Virgin Islands communities, President Hall explained.
This transformative endeavor will present an opportunity for the Territory to establish the only English-speaking medical school in the Caribbean accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME), the group that accredits medical schools in the United States and Canada.
According to President Hall, LCME-accreditation will ensure that UVI develops a high-quality medical school that operates according to the highest academic standards. A medical school in the Virgin Islands would enhance the quality of healthcare, help address the nations and Territorys anticipated physician workforce shortages in the future, help populate the physician workforce in the VI and Caribbean with the regions own residents and citizens, and contribute to economic development.
Virgin Islands Governor John P. de Jongh, Jr. has also committed to help provide funding for the medical school buildings, in order to help create a public and private partnership necessary for success.
I fully expect that the opening of the medical school will change the health care landscape of the Virgin Islands, as well as enhance the University of the Virgin Islands reputation as the preeminent learning institution in the region, Governor de Jongh said.

Three South Florida hospitals for the first time will get dozens of new doctors in training, as Florida Atlantic University debuts its new physician residency program.
The 36 recent medical school graduates are expected to help ease a resident shortage and an anticipated physician shortage in the coming years, FAU officials said. About a quarter of Florida's physicians are over age 65, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
These young doctors, as well as their supervising faculty, will help transform three community hospitals Boca Raton Regional Medical Center, Delray Medical Center and Bethesda West near Boynton Beach into academic teaching hospitals.
"I think it's going to be an incredible benefit to the community to have well-trained physicians being developed from the community," said Dr. Bernardo Obeso, director of the FAU program. "They will learn the culture of the community and in the end will improve the quality of care and safety throughout the area."
In addition to serving hospital patients, the residents will provide primary care at two new FAU outpatient clinics that will be established at Boca Raton Regional and Bethesda West. They'll also conduct wellness programs within the community, Obeso said.
Even though the physicians will all be based in Palm Beach County, Broward County is likely to benefit as well.
"Most people live and work throughout the area. Nobody limits themselves these days to one or two zip codes," said Linda Quick, president of the South Florida Hospital & Healthcare Association.
The students will arrive June 23 for training and start work July 1. While they come from all over the world, 39 percent have Florida roots, officials said.
The residency program is the second major part of the FAU College of Medicine's physician education program. The medical school opened in 2011 with 64 students. Those students won't be eligible to be residents until they graduate next year.
Its first class of 64 students won't graduate until 2015, so they weren't eligible.

HARTFORD, Conn. The Connecticut chief medical examiner says the 16-year-old girl fatally stabbed in a hallway of her high school died of wounds to her torso and neck.
The medical examiner's office said Sunday that Maren Sanchez's death was a homicide.
A 16-year-old classmate is charged with murder as a juvenile in Friday's stabbing at Jonathan Law High School in Milford.
Police didn't release the suspect's name, but people who saw him taken into custody identified him as Sanchez's friend Chris Plaskon.
Police are investigating whether Sanchez was killed because she turned down an invitation to be Plaskon's date to prom.
Plaskon's attorney says he is being held in a hospital under psychiatric evaluation. His arraignment is scheduled for Monday, but his lawyer says the boy won't attend.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Free medical care is now available on South Bend's west side.
The Navari Student Outreach Clinic, started by students at IU School of Medicine, opened its doors Saturday.
The clinic offers free health care to low-income and uninsured individuals all the while giving med students a hands-on education.
A group of students dreamed up the clinic about a year ago.
Since then, they've partnered with local health care and community organizations to raise money and renovate the space.
Patients can be treated for acute conditions like viruses, infections, and stomach issues, as well as certain chronic conditions.
What that means is the students will actually make major decisions, run the clinic, be supervised by the clinical director, explained Patrick Davis, IU South Bend Medical student, Dr. Navari, whose name the clinic bears, he approves of our decisions.
The Navari Student Outreach Clinic is located at 2015 West Western Avenue.
It will be open every other Saturday through the summer.
