Augmenting anatomy and radiology learning through XR experiential learning
For effective anatomy and pathology education, immersive experiences including 3D comprehension, hands-on interaction, and clinical emphasis are crucial¹. However, challenges arise as access to cadaver labs has become more complex and complex patient cases are not always easy to share in an interactive way. In parallel, 72% of medical students feel inadequately trained in radiology², often receiving it too late for their initial clinical clerkships.
Avatar Medical offers an immersive and clinically relevant solution to teach anatomy, radiology and pathologies.
