Strategies to Effectively Utilize Images in Anatomical Teaching and Assessment

Anatomical images are commonly used in the teaching process to help students understand the spatial orientation of anatomical structures. Previous research has shown that images effectively visualize the relationship between anatomical structures that are difficult to comprehend through verbal or written explanations alone. However, there is a lack of guidelines that specifically address the various methods of utilizing anatomical images and delivering them through multimedia and cognitive load principles. This article aims to provide a concise overview of the proper utilization and delivery of anatomical images and how these images can facilitate student interaction.
