A TOOL to teach anatomy to students in Coventry has been shortlisted for a national award. <\/p>\n
It features 3D images of the collection of preserved body parts at University Hospital. <\/p>\n
That means medical students who are too busy to study the specimens up close can access rotating images of them on their smartphone at any time. <\/p>\n
The project developed by University Hospital and the University of Warwick is a world first and has been nominated for the Times Higher Education Awards. <\/p>\n
Clinical anatomist Professor Peter Abrahams said: At long last our students can study anatomy on the move, and it gives me a real pride to see them in coffee breaks, on the beach and even sitting in an airport lounge studying detailed real human anatomy in moving 3D from their smart phones. <\/p>\n
I wish Id had technology like this as a student. <\/p>\n
University Hospital has an extensive collection of plastinated body parts that have been preserved by injecting them with plastic. Bosses hope to make the entire catalogue available as 3D images. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
