This paper describes the Veterinary Digital Anatomical Database Project. The purpose of the project is to investigate the construction and use of digitally stored anatomical models. We will be discussing the overall project goals and the results to date. Digital anatomical models are 3 dimensional, solid model representations of normal anatomy. The digital representations are electronically stored and can be manipulated and displayed on a computer graphics workstation. A digital database of anatomical structures can be used in conjunction with gross dissection in teaching normal anatomy to first year students in the professional curriculum. The computer model gives students the opportunity to "discover" relationships between anatomical structures that may have been destroyed or may not be obvious in the gross dissection. By using a digital database, the student will have the ability to view and manipulate anatomical structures in ways that are not available through interactive video disk (IVD). IVD constrains the student to preselected views and sections stored on the disk.
本文介绍了兽医数字解剖数据库项目。该项目的目的是研究数字存储解剖模型的构建和使用。我们将讨论项目的总体目标和迄今为止的成果。数字解剖模型是正常解剖结构的三维实体模型表示。这些数字表示以电子方式存储，可以在计算机图形工作站上进行操作和显示。解剖结构的数字数据库可与大体解剖相结合，用于专业课程一年级学生的正常解剖教学。计算机模型使学生有机会“发现”解剖结构之间的关系，这些关系在大体解剖中可能已被破坏或不明显。通过使用数字数据库，学生将能够以交互式视频光盘（IVD）无法提供的方式查看和操作解剖结构。IVD将学生限制在预先选择的存储在磁盘上的视图和切片上。
