The Anatomage Table enhances anatomy education, with students preferring it over traditional cadaveric methods for better comprehension and outcomes. However, it is most effective when used alongside cadaver training, not as a complete replacement.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Anatomy Pedagogy
- Digital Health Technologies
Background:
- Traditional anatomy education relies on lectures and cadaveric dissection.
- Technological advancements are transforming healthcare pedagogy.
- The Anatomage Table offers a 3D digital human body for visualization and virtual dissection.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the educational role of the Anatomage Table in anatomy.
- To determine if Anatomage can fully replace cadaveric material in medical education.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of publications from 2018-2023.
- Searches conducted on PubMed, SCOPUS, Wiley Online Library, and Google Scholar.
- 24 relevant English-language publications were selected.
Main Results:
- Most students find Anatomage beneficial for understanding anatomy and prefer it to cadavers.
- Anatomage improves learning outcomes, evidenced by higher grades.
- It provides deeper insights into anatomical relationships and is user-friendly.
Conclusions:
- The Anatomage Table is a valuable tool for enhancing anatomy education.
- It is most effective as a supplementary method to cadaver training.
- Integration into undergraduate courses is crucial for future healthcare professionals.

Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...
