The Anatomage software delivers a high level of image detail that is not present in plastic anatomical models and sometimes even actual cadavers, since the organs and tissues of cadavers can become too degraded for dissection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cUsing actual human cadavers poses several challenges for us here at HFC, including regulations, recurring costs, and ethical issues for students,\u201d said Carla Serfas, HFC biology instructor and faculty chair of the biology department. \u201cOnce a human cadaver is dissected, you can re-use it again in a limited way, but it degrades rapidly. This Anatomage technology enables us to use and re-use the same \u2018cadaver\u2019 indefinitely without previous dissections affecting how students see the anatomical structures.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">The life-size virtual cadaver \u2013 which can be switched from male to female, at the discretion of the instructor \u2013 can be viewed and manipulated from an endless combination of angles and through all tissue levels. Users can zoom in on areas of interest to the level of individual vascular structures and can slice through any combination of muscle and bone with the swipe of a single finger, as opposed to a scalpel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">One advantage of the Anatomage technology is that a mistake in the dissection process can be undone immediately. At the end of each lesson, the virtual cadaver can be reset to its original state. Also, whatever is being done on the Anatomage Table can be projected on classroom monitors, allowing students to clearly see the details of a demonstration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cThe purpose of the Anatomage Table is to give students a more realistic idea of how the human body is put together and how it works,\u201d said Serfas. \u201cPlastic models can only do so much. Another benefit to students is the opportunity to perform dissections without the smell or the mess of dissecting an actual cadaver. It allows us and our students to keep up with the latest cutting-edge medical technology. Anatomage technology is used in leading hospitals throughout the nation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">The Anatomage Table was funded by a grant through the HFC Technology Investment Fund (TIF).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">\u201cThe Anatomage Table is a valuable resource to our students, especially those who are preparing for future careers in the healthcare field as doctors, nurses, or other medical practitioners,\u201d said Serfas. \u201cThe adoption of this technology will also increase the College\u2019s chances of recruiting and preparing high-quality, future-driven applicants to our existing programs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\"><em>Kurt Anthony Krug<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The HFC biology department installed a state-of-the-art Anatomage Table \u2013 a virtual cadaver \u2013 that has been integrated into its curriculum starting with the Winter 2018 semester.
