A photographic technique for teaching topographical anatomy from whole body transverse sections
The Journal of Audiovisual Media in Medicine
|April 1, 1990
Abstract:
A photographic technique is described which enables the production of a series of 35 mm transparencies for teaching topographical anatomy from whole body transverse sections. It shows the sequential build-up of a section from an easily identifiable individual structure to the whole, therefore allowing the viewer to identify important areas and key structures within a section more readily.

01:11Anatomical Positions
In anatomy, several standard anatomical positions are used as references for describing the position and orientation of different body parts. These positions help provide a common frame of reference when discussing anatomical structures. The anatomical position is the standard reference point for describing the body's position and orientation. In this position:
The body is upright, facing forward, and standing erect.
The feet are parallel and flat on the floor.
The arms are hanging by the...

01:10Computed Tomography
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
