Panaji (Goa) [India], January 25 (ANI): The Medical Students at All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA) are learning from a Virtual Dissection Table. This technology integrates traditional Ayurveda concepts with modern digital anatomy that allows students to learn deeper structure layer by layer.

According to AIIA, the technology is part of a curriculum that combines traditional Ayurvedic anatomical concepts with modern methods, which is more useful to help students understand different and deep parts of the body.

"Before cadaveric dissection, they learn layer by layer about body parts through a virtual dissection table. But in actual cadaveric dissection, for example, first of all, they open the cranium, then open the nerve of the cranial nerve root. Then again, all the branches seen later, but virtual dissection rule at once, all the structure, so this is more beneficial for students." Dr Yadav said.
