Advancement in technology has given students and institutes an educational, interactive, and diagnostic aid with virtual reality functionality known as the Anatomage table. This review analyses the various spheres of the medical field where the 3D virtual tool is being used and assesses its acceptability, convenience, and practical application. A search for relevant studies in various databases namely Pubmed, Embase, Wiley Library, and Google Scholar was performed, and the data was compiled to understand the use of the Anatomage table. The search yielded a total of 24 studies that focused on the use of the Anatomage table. Eleven articles focused on using Anatomage as a learning tool and 13 described the perception of the Table. Anatomage table offers an excellent tool for learning anatomy by virtual dissection. The tool is not only used as a teaching aid, but also as a diagnostic and planning tool in residency programs. Adding the tool as an educational aid boosts the existing curriculum and helps to counter the challenges with cadaveric dissection. The equipment cost and its maintenance charges may be a deciding factor for the underutilization of the tool in developing countries.
科技的进步为学生和机构提供了一种具有虚拟现实功能的教育、互动和诊断辅助工具，即解剖学桌。本综述分析了 3D 虚拟工具在医学领域的各个领域的应用，并评估了其可接受性、便利性和实际应用。在 Pubmed、Embase、Wiley Library 和 Google Scholar 等各种数据库中进行了相关研究的检索，汇总数据以了解解剖学桌的使用情况。检索共产生了 24 项研究，重点研究了解剖学桌的使用。11 篇文章侧重于使用 Anatomage 作为学习工具，13 篇文章描述了对 Table 的看法。Anatomage 桌是通过虚拟解剖学习解剖学的绝佳工具。该工具不仅可用作教学辅助工具，还可用作住院医师计划中的诊断和规划工具。将该工具作为教育辅助工具可以增强现有的课程，并有助于应对尸体解剖的挑战。设备成本及其维护费用可能是发展中国家未充分利用该工具的决定因素。
