Zoom, rotate, and cuts in the body without the scalpel.  Linkoping Health University makes use of a unique Swedish pekbord.

 

Our students are the first in the world who may use the visualization table their education, says Pia Tingstrom, director of the Educational Centre at Linkoping Health University.

The so-called visualization table is a large touch screen that displays three-dimensional images of living or deceased individuals. The images created with the help of advanced algorithms and data from a computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
 
Students just need to move with his hands at the screen to explore different body parts in detail. This way they can learn the anatomy and functions. Linkoping Health University, Clinicum, will use technology in all seven programs.
 
The table has been developed by the Linkoping company Sectra in collaboration with researchers at Linkoping University, CMIV (Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization), Interactive Institute and Visualization Center C in Norrkoping.
 
The technology has received much international attention and has been shown up all over the world. Sectra has integrated the table with his system for imaging.
 
In addition to educational innovation may for instance be used to plan operations and to perform virtual autopsies.
