Yogi government is going to take another big step towards connecting AYUSH medical education with modern technologies. The government is preparing to provide state-of-the-art 3-D anatomage tables (digital mortuaries) in AYUSH medical institutions to make studies and training more effective. Its objective is to provide modern and scientific study of human anatomy to the doctors and students associated with Ayurveda, Homeopathy and Unani systems.
In fact, availability of cadavers has long been a major challenge in medical education. In such a situation, due to limited resources for studying anatomy even in AYUSH institutes, students have to face difficulty in practical studies. In view of this, the Yogi government has prepared a strategy to connect modern digital technology with medical education. Uttar Pradesh will be the fourth state in the country to adopt it.
3-D Anatomage Table, also known as Digital Mortuary
Director General of AYUSH and Mission Director Chaitra V said that in view of the lack of availability of cadavers in medical education, the Yogi government has prepared a strategy to provide 3-D anatomy tables to the students of AYUSH institutes for studying anatomy. According to this Lucknow This facility will be provided in the Government Ayurveda College, Government Homeopathy Medical College and Government Takmeel-Uttab Unani College located there.
With this, students studying in the field of AYUSH and practicing doctors will be able to understand the internal structure of the human body in great detail even without an actual cadaver. He told that the 3-D Anatomage Table is a state-of-the-art digital equipment, which is also called “digital mortuary”. It is a large touch-screen based system that houses high-resolution 3-D models of the actual human body. Students and doctors can study the skin, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and bones of the human body by looking at it layer by layer.
Study of various organs from digital models
Director General of AYUSH said that the biggest feature of 3-D Anatomage Table is virtual dissection. In this, an actual dead body is not required, rather various parts of the body are studied through digital models. Students can rotate, zoom and view any part of the body from different angles with the touch of fingers on the screen.
Apart from this, the structures inside the body can also be understood in detail through facilities like X-ray view. This technology is not limited to education only, but is also proving useful in planning medical treatments and surgeries. In this, a three-dimensional model can be prepared by uploading the CT scan and MRI scan of the patients. This helps doctors to analyze diseases more accurately and plan treatment better.
UP will be the fourth state in the country to have the facility of 3-D anatomage table.
3-D Anatomage Table helps medical students to realistically understand the complex structures of the human body. This increases the practical understanding of the students and they can become more efficient doctors and surgeons in the future. At present this facility is available only in selected institutions of the country. Through this, virtual dissection is done in the department of ‘Anatomy’ at the All India Institute of Ayurveda, Delhi.
Apart from this, this technology is also being used in National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur and SDM Ayurveda College, Hassan, Karnataka. After the launch of this facility in Uttar Pradesh, the state will become the fourth state in the country, where 3-D anatomage table will be used in AYUSH medical education.
