The University of (UKZN) invites media to attend the launch of a state-of-the-art Anatomage Table to be used for teaching anatomy in the School of Laboratory Medicine and Medical Sciences (LMMS).

The R1.87 million Table is the most technologically advanced 3D anatomy visualisation and virtual dissection system for anatomy and physiology education.

In recent years, South African Anatomy departments have experienced a shortage of cadavers needed for teaching anatomy and physiology as well as for medical research. This is mainly due to cultural and religious beliefs where body donation is not acceptable. The shortage has led to UKZNs Discipline of Anatomy having to rely on unclaimed bodies from state mortuaries as well as software programmes for teaching.

The Anatomage Tables life-seized display is combined with renowned radiology software and clinical content. The Table includes ultra-high quality visualisation for students to view photorealistic anatomical structures.

Dean and Head of the School of LMMS, Professor Musa Mabandla will present a demonstration of the Anatomage Table at the Launch:

Date : Friday, 6 November 2020Time : 10h00 -11h00Venue : Discipline of Clinical Anatomy, Ground Floor, F-Block, F3-01-044, UKZN Westville campus.
