Background: The teaching of anatomy to medical undergraduates continues to develop. Medical imaging can accurately demonstrate anatomy. 'disect' is a computer program which manipulates and reconstructs real CT images in 3-D.

Methods: Third-year undergraduate medical students at the University of East Anglia were randomised to different methods of delivering the program - either self-directed use or guided use with worksheets. Knowledge of gastro-intestinal anatomy was assessed using a 20-item test. Attitudes to using 'disect' were evaluated using Likert scales.

Results: Most students reported the program was easy to use and a valuable resource for learning anatomy. There was no difference in scores between guided use and self-directed use (10.7 marks versus 10.6 marks, p = 0.52). Students who undertook the anatomy special study module, which involved dissection of the digestive system, performed best (12.8 marks versus 9.9 marks, p = 0.005).

Conclusion: Students can adequately use a computer program to see major anatomical structures derived from CT scans. Students reported that learning anatomy can be aided by the imaging-based resource. Learning anatomy is a multi-modal activity and packages like 'disect' can enhance learning by supplementing current teaching methods.

Primal Pictures 3D anatomy model, built using real scan data from the visible human project, has been carefully segmented to create an unparalleled level of detail and accuracy. All of the content within this program has been verified by qualified anatomists and by a team of external experts for each body area.

Primal Pictures is a trading division of Pharma Intelligence UK Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 13787459 whose registered office is 3 More London Riverside, London SE1 2AQ.

We here at Columbia University's Medical School hope that you will consider becoming an Anatomical Donor. It is crucial for ALL medical students to learn anatomy, not just those who want to become surgeons. For example, anesthesiologists must understand where to best inject anesthetics, internists and pediatricians must be able to imagine a patient's anatomy without looking inside, and radiologists must interpret anatomical structures in all dimensions. Nothing equals the human body for teaching both normal and abnormal anatomy. This experience cannot be replaced with books or 3D computer programs. Donations may also be used for the further training of surgeons and the development of new and improved surgical methods and new implants such as joint replacements and artificial hearts.

As part of the donation process, you will be letting us know who will be responsible for carrying out your last wishes. This could be your spouse/partner, next of kin or executor/executrix. This person will need to contact the Anatomical Donor Program at 212-305-3600 during business hours as soon as possible following your death

Once we have confirmed that your donation is acceptable, we will take care of the rest at no charge. Our funeral director will retrieve your body, move it to our facility and provide four Death Certificates to your loved one.

It is important that your loved one be aware that you may be kept by the program up to 2 years or longer. Once our studies are finished your body will be cremated at no cost to your loved one (this includes transportation and filing of permits). If desired, your ashes will be returned to your spouse/partner, next of kin or executor/executrix. If not, they will be interred in a grave owned by Columbia University.

Each year our students acknowledge the completion of their study of anatomy by holding a memorial service to honor the donors. Your family members will be invited to this touching ceremony that helps give closure to students and families alike.

If interested, please contact the administrator of the Anatomical Donor Program, Mr. Jack Ventimiglia, at the address shown below. You need to fill out an information form and have an affidavit notarized in order to be registered in our program. Links to these forms are below. If you prefer, we can have them mailed to you.

This interactive 3D Software allows the user to view the anatomy of internal systems in a virtual bird (Rock Pigeon, Columba livia), either one by one or in any combination of systems. The 3D bird can be viewed from any angle and from various zoom levels. The internal systems can be viewed layer by layer. Systems that can be viewed: Skin; Muscle; Skeleton; Respiratory; Circulatory; Nervous; Digestive and Urogenital. Labelled. Includes sound.

Desktop Version. Often used in comparative anatomy classes. Suitable for teachers, students and all people interesting in learning about bird anatomy, as a start program in the study of Zoology, Ornithology and Avian Biology. The software is intended to be a supplemental educational resource and should NOT be used as the only source of educational information. The software should not be used as medical/veterinary advice or for medical/veterinary diagnoses. Available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Support is available in English and Portuguese only. The link to download the software and the serial number will be sent by email after payment approval. Each software license can be used on one computer for one user. The software requires an internet connection in the first run and runs offline from then on. Please click here for a short demonstration video (1:58 minutes) and for System Requirements. Includes sound. Free updates. Please see "Bird Anatomy (Pigeon)" for another bird computer program.

The gift of one's body allows students of all educational levels to learn and understand the complexity of humans far better than books or computer programs. From undergraduates taking gross anatomy for the first time to practicing physicians developing or learning new techniques, a broad range of students benefit from the opportunity to learn from the body itself.

Thank you for considering the gift of your remains to the Gift Body Program, as the need is great. Your gift will be valued and honored and will play a critical role in educating physicians and researchers to help our patients of tomorrow.

You will be sent two sets of forms with an instruction sheet. The forms must be completed and signed in the presence of a notary public. The form marked "Return to Saint Louis University" must be returned to the Center for Anatomical Science and Education and include your original signature and the original stamp/seal and signature of the notary. A wallet card with instructions will be sent after acceptance into the program.

The second copy of the gift form should be kept with your personal files, and your family should be notified of your desire to donate. Personal information should be updated (change of address, phone number, etc.) by contacting our office.

At the time of death, the Center for Anatomical Science and Education should be contacted to verify the donation. Your family should present your signed donation forms to a funeral home director or a transporting company official. They, in turn, deliver the unembalmed body with the proper papers to the Center for Anatomical Science and Education of Saint Louis University School of Medicine. Please note that this transportation is the only expense paid by your family or estate. The funeral director or transport company will handle the necessary paperwork regarding the death certificate.

Any individual who is at least 18 years of age can become a gift body donor by signing our forms in the presence of a notary. Donor forms will not be accepted if not signed by the donor themselves in the presence of a notary.

Bodies with a communicable disease, infections, or isolation precautions such as HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, MRSA, ORSA, VRE, or C. diff will not be accepted under any circumstances. Other reasons we may be unable to accept the donation of a body at the time of death include, but are not limited to, circumstances involving amputations, autopsy or organ donation, major trauma due to accidents or suicide, or morbid obesity (in general, females who exceed 200 pounds and males who exceed 250 pounds).

The Gift Body Program encourages all donors to share their wish for whole body donation with their family members. However, if the next of kin does not wish to carry out the donor's wishes, the Gift Body Program will usually abide.
