An enhanced 55-inch visualization table with state-of-the-art touch technology enables medical staff to smoothly navigate three dimensional (3D) images of actual patient cases.

The next-generation Sectra (Linköping, Sweden) F15 visualization table with capacitive touch technology allows medical staff and students to gain enhanced understanding of the body’s anatomy and functions, the variation between individuals, and visually explore more unusual diseases. The 3D images are taken by modern computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cameras. Users of the table can simply zoom in, rotate, or cut into the visualized body without using a scalpel, and can repeat virtual autopsies and dissections over and over.

The table also serves as a terminal for the proprietary Sectra Education Portal, a concept for sharing patient cases and teaching content and knowledge with other universities that use the Sectra Table. Based on an enterprise image management platform, the tables is suitable for all training programs, including anatomy training on virtual images of actual patient cases from other universities, in addition to the preinstalled training images that accompany the table.

“The visualization table allows us to modernize and increase the quality of our teaching,” said Sandra Ceccatelli, MD, PhD, head of the department of neuroscience and in charge of anatomy teaching at the Karolinska Institutet (Solna, Sweden). “The table opens up unique opportunities to convey basic knowledge about the body, offering a whole new way to teach anatomy to our students.”

The visualization table was developed in cooperation between the Linköping University (Sweden) Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization (CMIV), Visualiseringscenter C (Norrköping, Sweden),and The Interactive Institute (TII; Stockholm, Sweden).
