“…The demonstration of pathoanatomical cases (Figure 2) facilitates the recognition and learning of relevant clinical structures in terms of clinical anatomy and increases the compliance of the students to deal intensively with the sometimes very dry subject. Initial experience has already shown that the cinematic rendering of CT data sets allows excellent visualization of bone and vascular structures, which conventional cadaver-based anatomy cannot achieve in this form [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], see Figures 3 and 4. Other structures, such as nerves and fasciae, have not yet been able to be adequately represented using radiological methods.…”

Introduction:In the meantime, new methods from the digital field are finding their way into anatomy training for medical students. We have now taken a significant innovative step in this regard by showing the three-dimensional anatomy of living human beings using CT and MR data sets in a high-end projection room, the socalled dissection theatre of the future, using a projection surface of 16x9 meters. Methods:For this dissection theatre of the future, a separate course "virtual anatomy and pathoanatomy" has been integrated into the existing anatomy curriculum of the Johannes Kepler University in Linz. This course is anchored horizontally and vertically in the 3rd and 4th semesters of medical training. With a recently developed 3D post-processing method, called cinematic rendering, the students experience the anatomy of living human beings very photorealistically in 3D using active 3D shutter glasses.Results: After a pilot phase, the required image data could be imported into the system without any problems. All courses in the winter semester 2019/2020 were held without any problems. There were no technical failures. The permanent change between 3D and 2D presentations during the courses was also possible without any problems. Here, too, there were no technical failures. In the pilot phase and at the end of the first real teaching operation in the winter semester 2019/2020, the course was evaluated by the students. In both cases there were only very good to excellent ratings by the students. Conclusion:With the creation of a regular course "virtual anatomy and pathoanatomy" in the "Dissection Theatre of the Future", a significant step has been taken in the further development of anatomy teaching for medical students.

“…As shown in the images above, it is much easier to understand the main pathology and the postoperative condition with meaningful and often self-explaining CR images. In interdisciplinary discussions, in the planning phase of a procedure, during the informed consent discussion with the patient, when teaching medical and healthcare students and when educating the general public, it can be helpful to use photorealistic CR images to facilitate understanding of such complex pathologies and post-therapeutic conditions [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18].…”

“…In the demonstration of vascular pathologies, it can be challenging for non-radiologists to understand complex problems and posttherapeutic conditions based on cross-sectional images alone. In this field, CR has emerged as a useful technology to facilitate the understanding of complex anatomical and pathoanatomical particularities and to illustrate post-therapeutic conditions [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. CR images are photorealistic 3D reconstructions of cross-sectional images.…”

We present a case with an infrarenal AAA, treated with chimney endovascular aortic repair (CHEVAR) due to a strong inferior mesenteric artery (IMA). To enhance understanding of anatomy and pathoanatomy, pre-and postoperative cinematic rendered (CR) images were obtained from the patients' multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) datasets. We want to discuss possible applications for CR images to facilitate understanding of complex vascular pathologies and postprocedural conditions for medical professionals, students and the general public.

“…By providing all those information with a single modality the time needed is reduced while the quality of the preoperative planning may be increased [9]. These advantages make cinematic rendering 3D visualization valuable for imaging of trauma [10][11][12][13][14][15], also in the sense of developing new methods of teaching [16][17][18].…”
