The Future of Anatomy Education: BodyViz 7 featuring One-Click Dissection

December 12, 2024

Anatomy education is advancing at an incredible pace, and classrooms around the world are adopting more creative solutions to keep their students engaged. This is where BodyViz comes in. The 7th edition of BodyViz launched this fall featuring the revolutionary One-Click Dissection. BodyViz 7, harnessing real-world data from MRI and CT scans, is revolutionizing anatomy education by providing a highly interactive, flexible, and cost-effective platform that enhances student engagement, improves learning outcomes, and supports instructors in creating customized, immersive educational experiences.

Active Learning and Real-World Application

One of BodyViz’s standout features is its use of real patient data, sourced from MRI and CT scans, to create incredibly realistic and accurate 3D visualizations of human anatomy. This real-world data brings unmatched depth and authenticity to the learning process, offering students a chance to truly understand human anatomy in a way traditional textbooks and models simply can't match.

BodyViz offers an extensive library of over 1,000 scans that include not only normal anatomy but also anatomical variations and pathologies. This allows students to study healthy anatomy alongside a range of conditions and injuries. The interactive Brain Builder activities also offer more than 60 case study learning modules, including videos, detailed articles, and quizzes that are automatically graded, to deepen the student experience. One former anatomy student, who has gone on to hold positions in healthcare, adds,

“The real patient data in BodyViz gives students clinical insights early on, preparing them for their professional careers in healthcare settings.”

By prioritizing active learning, BodyViz helps instructors engage their students with anatomy in an immersive, hands-on way, preparing them for the practical demands of their futures in the field of healthcare. The combination of real-world data and interactive tools provides a truly authentic educational experience.

One-Click Dissection

At the core of BodyViz is the groundbreaking One-Click Dissection feature. It transforms how students explore human anatomy by making it incredibly easy to dive into detailed views of anatomical structures normally invisible to the naked eye. With a single click, students can seamlessly transition between anatomical perspectives, revealing hidden muscles, organs, vessels, and bones in stunning 3D detail, showing how different systems work together. With our plug-and-play content, students can have all of these benefits without the hassle of learning to navigate a new platform.

One-Click Dissection works hand-in-hand with BodyViz’s vast curriculum content to even further enhance learning in the classroom. Plus, educators can integrate One-Click Dissection directly into their lesson plans with ease, helping students dissect and explore anatomy in a way that aligns with course objectives.

Focused Learning for Students and Instructors

BodyViz was designed with both students and instructors in mind, boosting focus and engagement for each. For students, the streamlined interface and enhanced graphics make navigating through lessons easy and intuitive. They can explore anatomy in detail without distractions, making the learning process simple and effective.

BodyViz is dedicated to not leaving any students behind. As proof, over 60 Brain Builder videos and articles with case studies are available for free, ensuring that every student has access to valuable resources. You’ll also have access to tools, tips, and tricks to enhance your demos, lectures, and lab practicals. Feedback from current users confirms that adapting to BodyViz is smooth and intuitive, helping instructors maximize class time and improve student engagement. As Physical Therapy professor Dr. Bob Frampton states,

“Last year, when they did dissection, they spent more time dissecting and less time learning. Now [with BodyViz] they spend that time learning, doing, applying, and it far outweighs the traditional approach to anatomy and physiology.”

For instructors, BodyViz offers unmatched control over the learning experience. With access to quizzes, articles, and modules, you can easily integrate interactive activities and case studies into your curriculum. The BodyViz team will work with you to design custom mapping tailored to your course’s needs. All 3D scans are fully editable, giving you complete control over virtual dissections and learning objectives.

This flexibility is crucial, particularly for instructors with existing cadaver labs, as BodyViz can be used alongside cadaveric specimens. Instructors can upload their own scans into the BodyViz app, to create customizable learning experiences tailored to their curriculum.

Flexible, Accessible, and Cost-Effective

BodyViz is designed to be flexible and accessible, whether students are learning in the classroom or remotely. With unlimited access to the BodyViz Online Portal, students can log in at any time to complete virtual dissections, assignments, and quizzes, making it easy to keep learning no matter where they are. This flexibility is especially valuable for students with busy schedules, ensuring that they can continue their studies on their own time. The BodyViz platform integrates seamlessly with Learning Management Systems (LMS), making it easy for instructors to manage and deliver content effectively.

Best of all, BodyViz offers exceptional educational value at a fraction of the cost of traditional cadaver labs and other anatomy resources. Compared to the significant expenses of maintaining cadaver supplies and lab space, BodyViz allows for the virtual dissection of real patient anatomy, saving both time and money. BodyViz is fully committed to supporting customers and their classrooms. As Biology instructor Amy Bohan notes,

“From accommodating students with conflicting schedules to supporting remote learners, BodyViz ensures no one is left behind.”

BodyViz is changing the landscape of anatomy education by bridging the gap between traditional teaching methods and modern technology. With its innovative features and user-friendly design, it offers students and instructors an immersive and customizable solution for success.
