Our New Biomedical Science Lab

THIS IS NOT BIOLOGY 101!

BISHOP LOUGHLIN UNVEILS A BRAND NEW BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE LAB EQUIPPED WITH CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

For several years, Loughlin has boasted one of the best Biomedical Science programs in the area featuring the renowned PLTW (Project Lead The Way) curriculum. Building on this strength, we now have a new Biomedical Science lab (January 2022), equipped with a cutting-edge Anatomage Interactive 3D Anatomy and Physiology Virtual Dissection Table.

The new Anatomage Table 8, the most technologically advanced 3D anatomy visualization and virtual dissection tool, provides students with the chance to perform virtual 3D dissections of the human body by “visualizing anatomy exactly as they would on a cadaver. Anatomy is presented as a fully interactive, life-sized touch screen experience and allows for exploration and learning ofhumananatomybeyondwhatanycadavercouldoffer.” (Anatomage, Inc.)

Beyond dissection, the Anatomage Table supports exploration and learning of human anatomy. With a computerized screen large enough to show a life-size human body, students can visualize, analyze, interact, and even diagnose with simulated living anatomy and physiology on digital bodies kinesiology (body movement) simulation, micro structures of the brain, ocular motor control, and other vital functions of the body (cardiac, blood circulation, etc.) with the table’s vast clinical case library. The students will engage in a virtual medical lab, as they learn to analyze a patient’s needs and perform the proper scans to make a diagnosis or learn how to perform a virtual cadaver dissection to determine a patient’s cause of death.

The table allows students to do things that would be impossible in a typical lab class. They can start over, save changes, and easily see a body or organ from any angle by manipulating the image.

The Anatomage system will complement and advance the school’s current science curricula in many ways and provide our students with an advanced tool to better understand the science behind the human body.

VISUAL LEARNING WITH 3D BODIES — THE WORLD’S FIRST VIRTUAL DISSECTION TABLE

“Table 8 technology enables Anatomage Bodies to evolve into living human bodies that look, respond, and function just like us. In the ever-evolving healthcare industry, medical simulation has gradually established itself as a critical component. The demand for technologies that enable people to interactively visualize living anatomy and physiology continues to rise. The Anatomage Table is the only fully segmented real human 3D anatomy platform. The Anatomage Bodies have been known as digital ‘real cadavers’. As they are modeled after real human corpses, Anatomage Bodies have been recognized for enabling users to interact with them thesamewaytheywouldonaphysicalcadaver.”Anatomage, Inc.
