The work is devoted to the description of the structure of the developed SkiaAtlas software, which is focused on working with individual anatomical models of the human body and physiological parameters of the patient. The problem of using mock-up and post-sectional material in teaching medical students, and why the developed information system has advantages over these models, is shown. Virtual anatomical models were obtained from anonymous DICOM images of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). The subsystems of the information system are described: a PACS server where all data is stored (server part) and a web application where the user works with data (client part). The information system modules implemented in the form of various software products are described in detail: data import module, anonymization module, DBMS module, visualization module, etc. The operation of these modules is illustrated schematically. It is shown in what programming languages and frameworks this software is implemented, and advantages of choosing these implementation tools relative to software are shown. The process of deleting personal data from DICOM files is described in detail; the process of obtaining the “mask” of the object in the picture, which is then used to obtain three-dimensional models of the patient’s internal organs. The process of user work with the database and the search for pathologies using the system interface tools are clearly described. The possibilities of using this information system in the educational field are shown – an illustration of specific clinical cases in order to search for cause-effect relationships in the pathogenesis of various diseases and the development of clinical thinking in a student. In a specific clinical case, an example is given of how the SkiaAtlas program was used to search for a pathology – a volumetric formation of the left hemisphere of the brain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
