Digital anatomy is a novel emerging discipline. Use of virtual reality brings a revolution in educational anatomy by improving retention and learning outcomes. Indeed, virtual dissection is a new learning tool for students and surgeons. Three-dimensional vectorial models of the human body can be created from anatomical slices obtained by lengthy series of cryosection from the visible human projects. The aim of this paper is to show how these mesh models could be embedded into an Acrobat 3dpdf interface, to produce an easy-to-use fully interactive educational tool.
The learning of this method and its practical application were evaluated on a multicentric cohort of 86 people divided into 3 groups, according to the duration of their training (1, 2 or 3 days, respectively). Participants learned how to use the Mesh tool and how to model 3D structures from anatomical sections. At the end of the training, they were given a survey form. Participants were also asked to rate the training (Poor; Average; Good; Very Good; Excellent).
Ninety four percent of the subjects rated the device as excellent and would continue to use digital anatomy in their practice.
This result is the Diva3d virtual dissection table, a powerful educational tool for anatomists and students. It could also be the basis of future simulation tools for hand surgeons training.
数字解剖学是一门新兴的学科。虚拟现实技术通过提高记忆和学习效果，给解剖学教育带来了一场革命。事实上，虚拟解剖是学生和外科医生的一种新的学习工具。人体的三维向量模型可以从可视人项目中通过冗长的冰冻切片系列获得的解剖切片中创建。本文的目的是展示如何将这些网格模型嵌入到 Acrobat 3dpdf 界面中，以生成易于使用的全交互教育工具。
根据培训时间（分别为 1、2 或 3 天），将 86 人的多中心队列分为 3 组，评估学习该方法及其实际应用的情况。参与者学习如何使用网格工具以及如何从解剖切片中构建 3D 结构。培训结束后，他们填写了一份调查问卷。还要求参与者对培训进行评分（差、一般、好、很好、优秀）。
94%的参与者认为该设备非常出色，并将继续在他们的实践中使用数字解剖学。
这一结果是 Diva3d 虚拟解剖台，是解剖学家和学生的强大教育工具。它也可能是未来手部外科医生培训模拟工具的基础。
