Leading industry thinkers gather at visualization congress in Amsterdam

Featured industry speakers include: Dr. Eric J. Voiglio, University Lyon and Professor Eberhard Weihe, Philipps-University Marburg

You are cordially invited to attend the Sectra Visualization Congress in Amsterdam on November 14 to hear the thought leaders in medical education discuss the advantages of using advanced visualization technology for anatomic education and clinical training.

Sectra has arranged for medical education professionals to gather in Amsterdam to share their experience of using the Sectra Visualization Table and and how and how advanced visualization technology can revolutionize anatomic education and clinical training.

Interaction with real computer-visualized bodies integrated with medical training provides better understanding of the body’s anatomy and functions, the variation between individuals, and better knowledge of more unusual illnesses. Combined, these features will significantly enhance the quality and efficiency of the medicine programs.

About Sectra Visualization Table

The Sectra Visualization Table is a large, multi-touch medical display with software that facilitates interaction with 3D images of the human body created by modern computer tomography or magnetic resonance cameras. Students are able to intuitively zoom in, rotate or cut into the visualized body without using a scalpel or destroying the subject. This means that the same image can be used repeatedly, and the students are able to study the impact of various illnesses on the anatomy in a manner that was not possible in teaching in the past. A unique function of the visualization table is that each university can download and create its own teaching files from its own clinical practices as well as using the preloaded collection of demonstration cases that comes with the table.

Sectra Visualization Table is used by universities and training hospitals in more than 15 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. It has been developed in cooperation with Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization (CMIV), Visualization Center C, The Interactive Institute and Linköping University, Sweden.
