“…There are very few published articles that compare new methods with each other, and now that the role of virtual teaching tools has been established such studies are imperative to creating the best possible learning environments. Additionally, most of the literature focuses on student perception and knowledge assessment, not the perception of lecturers and teachers 80‐84 . Lecturer assessment is an important factor, because without positive feedback and buy‐in, new tools may remain stagnant and unused.…”

“…This study focused on accessing lecturers' perceptions of the Pirogov and Anatomage anatomy tables to characterize which is the best liked and for what purpose does each excel. Internationally, Anatomage is currently the most popular anatomical table, 39,40,84 but the Pirogov table has seen mass adoption in Russian universities and is spreading in Europe and Asia. For this reason, we focused on these platforms specifically.…”

Anatomy is increasingly taught using computer-assisted learning tools, including electronic interactive anatomy dissection tables. Anatomage was he first virtual anatomy dissection table introduced in Russian medical universities and gained popularity among lecturers and students. The Pirogov interactive anatomy table was recently released, but the strengths and weakness of each platform is currently unknown. The objective of this article is to survey lecturers in anatomy to understand their perspectives on the Pirogov versus Anatomage virtual dissection tables' application to teaching in medical universities. A total of 80 anatomy educators from 12 Russian universities, using Anatomage (n = 40) and Pirogov (n = 40) tables were surveyed regarding their satisfaction with the application of the respective tables. Using a five-point Likert scale, both tables were assessed, and responses were statistically analyzed. In addition, qualitative analysis was performed on free response comments provided by survey respondents. There was no significant difference in overall satisfaction ratings between Pirogov (4.38 ± 0.53) and Anatomage (3.94 ± 0.60) interactive tables (p > 0.05). The Anatomage table ranked significantly higher on the accuracy of displayed anatomical details, resolution of the images, and its suitability for teaching senior medical and postgraduate students. Pirogov table performed significantly better on survey items measuring ergonomics, ability to assess students' performance, and teaching basic anatomy to junior first-and second-year medical students. Thus, in summary, anatomists' responses indicated that while both tables are suitable for teaching anatomy, the Pirogov table was superior in undergraduate medical education and the Anatomage table was more beneficial for teaching more senior trainees.

“…Virtopsy maintains the anatomical continuity of the body and all its organs, no matter how many times it is performed. 33,34 With the advent of newer and more efficient technologies, the focus has been shifted to 3D surface documentation, multidetector or multislice computed tomography, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, imageguided percutaneous biopsy, and postmortem angiography. 35 The invention of the "Virtobot" is considered to be a breakthrough in the field of postmortem imaging as it is capable of conducting three-dimensional surface scans as well as postmortem image-guided soft tissue biopsies.…”
