Technological Environments of Anatomical-Radiological Vision in 3D for the Study of Pelvic Structures

Abstract

Computer applications have been incorporated as valuable elements in teaching, thanks to the innovation of new technologies in recent decades. The implementation of these computer developments in the field of medical education has been a true revolution. The authors present a computer development designed for PC environments that allows visualizing and interacting in a virtual environment with the main anatomical structures (bone, muscle, vascular, and visceral) of the female pelvis in three dimensions (3D) integrated with cadaveric sections and serial sections of magnetic resonance imaging. The consequence of the application of 3D environments for training and the integration of all these technological innovations in clinical medicine, together with the rapid evolution of information and communication technologies, is the emergence of a new teaching methodology with new opportunities for the development of the teaching-learning process.
