As a medical student—whether you are in your clinical years or residency—properly memorizing your lessons and working more efficiently is a real challenge when it comes to succeeding. Active learning promotes solid understanding and, consequently, long-term retention of information. But how can this be achieved in practice?
With this in mind, we have added a new feature to our e-Anatomy and vet-Anatomy atlases: the ability to lock multiple structures, helping you better understand and therefore retain anatomical information.
Precisely when trying to understand anatomy, you need to grasp the relationships between anatomical structures and their positioning. Based on this observation and taking into account feedback from our users, it seemed relevant to offer the possibility to select the structures of interest and then scroll through an imaging series in different planes while continuously following those same structures.
Multiple locking: demonstration in images
A brief demonstration using a brain CT scan in bone window: the structures and their positions appear (axial slice).
How to lock structures
🖥️Hover your mouse over the label you want to lock. After a few seconds, a preview will appear with a padlock icon that allows you to lock/unlock the structure.
📱Press and hold the label of the structure you want to lock/unlock.
We welcome your feedback on this new feature—let us know what you think by writing to contact@imaios.com.
