As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic forced universities to switch to distance online education, there was an urgent need to find some virtual/digital alternatives in order to continue teaching. Opportunities such as watching pre-recorded autopsy videos or creating and analyzing post-mortem computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging with various 3D surface imaging techniques are usually time-consuming and cost-intensive. Photogrammetry, which allows the creation of 3D textured surface models from a series of overlapping photographs taken from varying viewpoints, is a less common approach compared with post-mortem imaging. We created 3D autopsy case models for a special online forensic pathology course in which students could try the models. Then, formal feedback was requested regarding the possible application of this method in education. Most of the students were satisfied with the new method and ranked photogrammetry higher than the other available methods. Our results indicate that photogrammetry has a high potential in undergraduate education, especially in the case of distance education or in those countries where declining autopsy rates have resulted in a decline in the use of the autopsy as an educational tool. Photogrammetry can also be used as a supplementary tool in traditional autopsy-based education and has potential applications in various fields of medical education.
随着 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行迫使大学转向远程在线教育，迫切需要寻找一些虚拟/数字替代方案，以继续教学。观看预先录制的尸检录像或使用各种 3D 表面成像技术创建和分析死后计算机断层扫描或磁共振成像的机会通常既耗时又成本高昂。与死后成像相比，摄影测量术是一种不太常见的方法，它可以从不同视角拍摄的一系列重叠照片中创建 3D 纹理表面模型。我们为一门特殊的在线法医病理学课程创建了 3D 尸检案例模型，学生可以在该课程中试用这些模型。然后，我们要求学生对该方法在教育中的可能应用提出正式反馈。大多数学生对新方法感到满意，并将摄影测量术的评分高于其他可用方法。我们的结果表明，摄影测量术在本科教育中具有很高的潜力，尤其是在远程教育或那些由于尸检率下降导致尸检作为教育工具的使用减少的国家。摄影测量术也可以作为基于传统尸检的教育的补充工具，并且在医学教育的各个领域具有潜在的应用。
