摘要

The two-dimensional presentation and multiple choice evaluation of basic anatomy encourages rote memorization of facts without an understanding of the structural and functional relationships among the body elements. The authors have developed a computer-based self-assessment program that reinforces the structural relationships among the body systems through the use of 8-bit color digitized photographs of carefully dissected cadavers and through the use of questions requiring the exercise of anatomical concepts. These digitized images are two-dimensional but convey a significant sense of depth. Image acquisition and program development will be discussed.
