Computer-assisted learning fulfils an important need for pictorial representation of the functions of organs and systems. The various computer techniques of animation and morphing provide promising horizons for medical educational technology. Image acquisition is one of the most resource-intensive components of animation sequence development. Images can be drawn as originals or can be copied/scanned from various sources. By standardizing the initial (starting) image to the particular/basic need of the teacher and projecting the end-point image by using a vector animation package, 'films' can be created to demonstrate any form of movement. In the Anatomy Department, Sultan Qaboos University in Muscat, computer-animated tutorials are being introduced to illustrate normal and abnormal functional anatomy. The heart and its valve mechanisms have been selected as a pilot study. The student response is very positive and the technique has great potential. Embryology animations showing the formation and growth of organs such as the brain and spinal cord are also being developed.
计算机辅助学习满足了对器官和系统功能进行图像展示的重要需求。各种动画和变形的计算机技术为医学教育技术带来了广阔前景。图像采集是动画序列开发中资源消耗最大的环节之一。图像可以直接绘制，也可以从各种来源复制/扫描。通过将初始（起始）图像标准化以满足教师的特定/基本需求，并使用矢量动画软件包投影终点图像，可以创建“影片”来展示任何形式的运动。在马斯喀特的苏丹卡布斯大学解剖学系，正在引入计算机动画教程以说明正常和异常功能解剖学。心脏及其瓣膜机制已被选作试点研究。学生的反应非常积极，这项技术具有很大潜力。展示诸如大脑和脊髓等器官形成和生长的胚胎学动画也正在开发中。
