title: [Electronic imaging with photo-realistic rendering for neuroanatomy teaching. Methods and preliminary results].
abstract: Advances in software, networking, and imaging technology provide a unique opportunity for developing information systems in anatomy that can deliver relevant knowledge to the clinicians, researchers, educators, and students. Recent software tools initially produced for graphic imaging are now available in the medical graphic design field. The authors describe an original method they used to create electronic images of the central nervous system and its coverings with photo-realistic rendering. They present preliminary results and discuss the potential of this new technique as a teaching tool for neuroanatomy.
