The interpretation of computed tomographs (CTs) and magnetic resonance images (MRIs) to diagnose clinical conditions requires basic knowledge of sectional anatomy. Sectional anatomy has traditionally been taught using sectioned cadavers, atlases, and/or computer software. The computer software commonly used for this subject is practical and efficient for students but could be more advanced. The objective of this research was to present browsing software developed from the Visible Korean images that can be used for teaching sectional anatomy. One thousand seven hundred and two sets of MRIs, CTs, and sectioned images (intervals, one millimeter) of a whole male cadaver were prepared. Over 900 structures in the sectioned images were outlined and then filled with different colors to elaborate each structure. Software was developed where four corresponding images could be displayed simultaneously; in addition, the structures in the image data could be readily recognized with the aid of the color-filled outlines. The software, distributed free of charge, could be a valuable tool to teach medical students. For example, sectional anatomy could be taught by showing the sectioned images with real color and high resolution. Students could then review the lecture by using the sectioned and color-filled images on their own computers. Students could also be evaluated using the same software. Furthermore, other investigators would be able to replace the images for more comprehensive sectional anatomy.
为了诊断临床情况，需要具备基本的断层解剖学知识来解读计算机断层扫描（CT）和磁共振成像（MRI）。传统上，断层解剖学是通过解剖尸体、图谱和/或计算机软件来教授的。目前，用于该学科的计算机软件对学生来说实用且高效，但还可以更先进。本研究旨在介绍一种从可视韩国图像开发的浏览软件，该软件可用于教授断层解剖学。准备了 1702 套 MRI、CT 和整个男性尸体的切片图像（间隔 1 毫米）。对切片图像中的 900 多个结构进行了轮廓勾勒，并填充了不同的颜色以详细说明每个结构。开发了一种可以同时显示四个相应图像的软件；此外，借助填充颜色的轮廓，可以很容易地识别图像数据中的结构。该软件免费分发，可成为教授医学生的有价值的工具。例如，可以通过显示具有真实颜色和高分辨率的切片图像来教授断层解剖学。学生可以在自己的计算机上使用切片和填充颜色的图像来复习课程。也可以使用相同的软件对学生进行评估。此外，其他研究人员可以用更全面的断层解剖学图像来替换这些图像。
