“…Although there is much variation between computer generated models and 3D computer graphics, it has been suggested that computerized models will improve in anatomic accuracy (Toga et al, ) and may become even more utilized in teaching undergraduate neuroanatomy. More globally than neuroanatomy, it has also been suggested that computerized models may be more effective than cadaveric tissues for teaching anatomy overall (Robb, ; Sugand et al, ). One of the reasons why researchers believe that computer generated brain models are superior to physical models is because they can be rotated, changed into sectional anatomy and incorporate into transparent layers of anatomy (Pani et al, ).…”

The purpose of this study was to design a one-hour brain dissection protocol for a medical neuroscience course and evaluate the short and long-term effects of its implementation on medical students. First-year medical students (n = 166) participated in a brain dissection activity that included dissection of the basal nuclei and associated deep brain structures. Short-term retention was assessed by administering identical pre- and post-activity tests involving identification of brain structures. Following the brain dissection, the students' posttest scores were significantly higher (68.8% ± 17.8%; mean percent score ± SD) than their pretest scores (35.8% ± 20.0%) (P ≤ 0.0001). Long-term retention was evaluated by conducting an identical assessment five months after completion of the course. Students who participated in the dissection activity (n = 80) had significantly higher scores (46.6% ± 23.8%) than the students who did not participate in the dissection activity (n = 85) (38.1% ± 23.9%) (P ≤ 0.05). In addition to the long-term retention assessment, the NBME Subject Examination scores of students who participated in the dissection activity were significantly higher than the students who did not participate in the dissection activity (P ≤ 0.01). Results suggest that this succinct brain dissection activity may be a practical addition to an undergraduate medical neuroscience course for increasing the effectiveness of neuroanatomy training. This effect may have long-term benefits on knowledge retention and may be correlated with higher performance levels on standardized subject examinations.

“…Virtualization does not depend on hardware to operate and operating systems do not require certain hardware to function. There may be benefits of using virtualization in medical facilities (Graschew et al, 2006;Kilman & Forslund, 1997;Robb, 2008).…”

The purpose of this qualitative e-Delphi study was to collect opinions and experiences from a group of expert panel members made up of physicians and virtualization experts. This e-Delphi research study provided information about the opinions and experiences from experts about the possible benefits for virtualization in medical facilities. The expert panel was comprised of 12 virtualization experts and physicians. Virtualization is a concept of technology where one physical hardware device, called a server, is configured with software that allows for multiple software servers to be installed or implemented. Virtualization may offer benefits to healthcare organizations including the ability to deliver patient data to physicians more quickly. Virtualization has demonstrated substantial benefits in many areas of information technology infrastructure in the medical informatics field. The expert panel members were chosen at random through existing professional relationships and previous employment. The expert panel members were provided three rounds of survey questions and were asked to complete all surveys in its entirety. The findings show that hospitals and medical facilities will benefit from virtualization and provide increased patient care by delivering faster data to the patient and physician. As leaders in hospitals and medical facilities continue to be well-informed, leaders will be better equipped to make more-informed decisions about virtualization and the positive relationship software virtualization has on patient care.

“…For example, volumetric MRI data has been examined in virtual reality to assist in the understanding of brain function (Chen et al, 2011). Volume rendering in VR has also found use in surgical training and planning (Robb, 2008).…”
