Virtual Anatomy Lab

The Virtual Anatomy Lab at MUSC demonstrates our commitment to advancing education through innovation. By integrating immersive technologies into the study of anatomy, the lab transforms how students learn and engage with the human body. Here, learners can explore anatomy in new dimensions, building knowledge and confidence that support their future in health care.

Within the lab, students benefit from several advanced learning platforms that complement traditional approaches:

VH Dissector VR: Offers a fully immersive environment where learners can explore anatomy in exceptional detail, fostering a deeper understanding of complex systems.
VH Dissector AR: Provides lightweight access to anatomical content, making it possible to project and study structures in the environment.
VH Dissector XR: Combines digital models with real-world context through mixed reality, allowing students to visualize anatomical structures as if they exist right in front of them.
Sectra Table: A life-sized, touch-interactive visualization table that enables collaborative exploration of virtual cadaver images and clinical cases, enhancing group learning and clinical application.

By offering these technologies together in one space, the Virtual Anatomy Lab elevates the learning experience. MUSC leadership is dedicated to preparing students to succeed in a rapidly evolving health care landscape.
