Teaching Radiological Anatomy

Editor Utilising postgraduate trainees to deliver undergraduate teaching is a logical and well established practice. Undergraduate cadaveric anatomy, once the exclusive domain of the surgical demonstrator, has in many institutions dissected itself out of existence. The rationale, if subjected to the same dissection, was in essence too many facts and too costly when software simulation is too se...

Teaching radiological anatomy

Human Anatomy has always been one of the core sciences in medical studies. If anatomical information is fundamental to medical studies, it is indispensable to the training of specialists in diagnostic medical imaging. Diagnostic medical imaging techniques include conventional radiology, ultrasonography, helical or multidetect computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR). In this paper, ...

Undergraduate Teaching of Anatomy

Since publication of my (Khan, 1945) previous paper on 1 The Organization of Anatomy Department ' I have discussed this and allied topics with eminent anatomists in Britain, France, Switzerland, Canada and U.S.A. during my one-year tour in the West. Those who have completely endorsed the views expressed in this paper constitute a remarkable majority. The dissenting minority differed not on prin...

Practical teaching of preclinical anatomy

We illustrate here why today practical teaching in preclinical anatomy is important and why the use of human cadavers is still essential for learning human anatomy by taking two examples. We explain why it is important for a student to be able to dissect and learn anatomy by exploratory anatomy. Several alternatives are discussed and modern teaching tools are illustrated with on-line and comput...
