“…Finally, the Anatomage Table could represent a huge opportunity for other health disciplines with the aim to improve the knowledge of anatomy and to enhance the student’s long-term knowledge retention. In this regard, Narware and Neumeier described the success obtained from the use of virtual tables for nursing students at Canada University; for these students, cadaveric dissection is not expected [ 14 ].…”

“…Estai and Bunt suggest that the use of plastination or projections appears suitable for the anatomical learning of students in dentistry, pharmacy, biology, nursing, and physical education [ 13 ]. On the other hand, the use of cadaveric dissection remains the best training resource for a future physician, which could be integrated by virtual dissecting devices [ 13 , 14 ]. Recently, virtual reality seems to play a crucial role as a new technology for enhancing education through new approaches for interactive student learning [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

Most medical and health science schools adopt innovative tools to implement the teaching of anatomy to their undergraduate students. The increase in technological resources for educational purposes allows the use of virtual systems in the field of medicine, which can be considered decisive for improving anatomical knowledge, a requisite for safe and competent medical practice. Among these virtual tools, the Anatomage Table 7.0 represents, to date, a pivotal anatomical device for student education and training medical professionals. This review focuses attention on the potential of the Anatomage Table in the anatomical learning process and clinical practice by discussing these topics based on recent publication findings and describing their trends during the COVID-19 pandemic period. The reports documented a great interest in and a positive impact of the use of this technological table by medical students for teaching gross anatomy. Anatomage allows to describe, with accuracy and at high resolution, organ structure, vascularization, and innervation, as well as enables to familiarize with radiological images of real patients by improving knowledge in the radiological and surgical fields. Furthermore, its use can be considered strategic in a pandemic period, since it ensures, through an online platform, the continuation of anatomical and surgical training on dissecting cadavers.

“…It is emphasized that of the 15 studies analyzed, 8 are directly related to new technologies and 7 to active methodologies. Thus, 2 present educational software and platform (Inzunza et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2021), 2 augmented reality for the teaching of anatomy (Kurniawan et al, 2018;Layona et al, 2018), 3 as 3D tools (de La Barrera-Cantoni et al, 2021;Narnaware & Neumeier, 2021;Rodríguez-López et al, 2020), 1 2D graphic animation (Macías & Muñino, 2021). With regard to active methodologies, 1 with the karoot platform, game show (García-Barrios et al, 2020) What we can perceive, that despite the different methodologies applied, both dialogue in their objectives with regard to rethinking and innovating the process of teaching anatomy.…”

Human anatomy is a fundamental area for the training of health professionals, presenting itself as a foundation in their formation. However, the methodological path adopted in teaching practice in the course of this discipline is based on traditional methodologies. However, contemporaneity calls for new form and approach in the pedagogical course, inquiring and rethinking the anatomy classroom through different practices and active methodologies with the insertion of technological resources. Thus, the present research aims to investigate the different teaching practices applied in the anatomy classroom through an integrative review. An integrative review of the literature was performed through research in electronic databases: Science Direct and SciELO. The inclusion criteria were: studies that answered the guide question, research with human beings, published from 2015 to 2021, in English, Spanish and Portuguese. It was verified that there are a number of tools and strategies that can be used to teach the most attractive of human anatomy, stimulating the development of the skills and competencies of health students.

“…Custer and Michael mentioned that students in the imaging science department benefit from using Anatomage and the majority of students gave good feedback about Anatomage, as it had a positive effect on their learning ability of anatomy [ 7 ]. The Anatomage table was successfully used for nursing students at Mac Ewan University [ 43 ]. It can also be used as an effective tool in forensic odontology education and training [ 44 ].…”

Studies on human anatomy mainly depend on cadaver dissection. New technology devices have progressed to improve anatomy teaching, such as the 3D Anatomage virtual dissection table. There is a shortage and deficiency in information about the uses and benefits of the Anatomage table. The aim of this article was to review and assess the current evidence about the advantages of the Anatomage virtual table in medical education and curricula of medical courses, and its utility in diagnosis. The current study is a comprehensive systematic review. A search was conducted on online medical and scientific databases. Twenty-nine articles relevant to the content of the current research topic were selected. Based on this review, the use of the Anatomage table is valuable for anatomy learning outcomes, and most of the research supported it as an important anatomy tool in addition to cadaveric dissection. The Anatomage table in association with human dissection can improve knowledge retention of anatomy. It is an important tool for understanding organ variation. Anatomage is now considered an important tool for the educational training programs of medical students and residents and for disease diagnosis and prognosis. Anatomage can make the curriculum more interesting and valuable. Utilizing the Anatomage table can help medical and paramedical students and residents by assisting them to understand anatomy in a better way. It will also improve radiological knowledge and facilitate pre-planning for surgeries. Finally, it has a crucial role during exceptional circumstances such as pandemics.
