Preparing the Teaching and Learning materials 1. Select a topic and appropriate applications The topic, applied anatomy of the knee joint, was selected in September by Dr. Ameed Raoff. With Dr. Sakti Srivastava, the two anatomists decided to select material that would allow students to navigate through the anatomy of the knee and explore its clinical application. Dr. Raoff identifed images from the Visible Human project from Michigan. At Stanford Dr. Srivastava suggested using Remote Stereo Viewer, an educational tool that provides students with the ability to view three dimensional stereo images of a specific anatomical section of the body. 2. Dissecting and preparing the images of the knee Dr. Min Suk Chung, a Visiting Professor from Ajou University School of Medicine, spent 5 weeks preparing a new set of JPEG image files. He dissected the knee from a cadaver of a 70 year old male. At 5 degree increments he photographed the knee ending up with a full revolution around the knee. He repeated this process through seven layers of dissection. The images were then logically arranged into a multi-dimensional grid and downloaded to the application, Remote Stereo Viewer. Consecutive images allow the anatomical object to be viewed in stereo.. To understand more about this process, you may want to view this short video clip. 3. Testing the applications between Michigan and Stanford It required more than 10 testing sessions between the two teams to arrive at a working set of specifications for the various applications:
