Program or Description

Emerging technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and three-dimensional printing (3DP) hold transformative potential in education and healthcare. The curriculum included lectures and hands-on sessions focusing on the application of virtual reality, 3D printing technologies, and artificial intelligence technology in anatomy education and clinical simulations. The attendee will have hands-on experience on virtual dissection table (MDBOX®, MEDICAL IP Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea), VR headsets (Oculus Quest 2, Meta Quest, Menlo Park, CA, USA), an AR headset (HoloLens 2, Microsoft, Redmond, WA, USA). The attendee will learn how to use medical image processing software (MEDIP PRO®, MEDICAL IP Co., Ltd., Seoul, Republic of Korea). Through the experience of both hardware and software of 3D medical images, the attendee will be equipped with the capacity to organize educational course based on 3D hardware and software for anatomy education and clinical simulation.

Program or Description

Purpose

In this program, we aim to demonstrate not only the traditional Sihler’s whole mount nerve staining technique but also a ‘modified technique’ for vascular research. Through this program, participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, learn experimental techniques, and engage in knowledge sharing and problem-solving among participating anatomists. Furthermore, we intend to facilitate discussions about potential advancements in the Sihler’s staining technique for the future.

Significance

Sihler’s whole mount nerve staining is an experimental technique that allows for the examination of intramuscular nerve distribution. This long-standing traditional method has regained attention recently due to the active use of botulinum neurotoxin injections for cosmetic and rehabilitation purposes. This program enables participants to gain practical experimental experience by conducting Sihler’s whole mount nerve staining.

Programs

1. Preparation of reagents required for Sihler's staining
2. Step-by-Step demonstration and observation of Sihler's staining
3. Demonstration of latex injection into blood vessels
4. Transparency after latex injection: Step-by-Step specimen preparation
5. Observation of specimens after latex injection and Sihler’s staining
