A public lecture at the University of Chester will explore how cutting-edge digital technologies are reshaping medical education, offering unprecedented accuracy in understanding the human body and transforming the way future healthcare professionals are trained.
Titled Digital Anatomy with Precision: Transforming Medical Training and Unlocking Healthcare Knowledge, the lecture will be delivered by Professor Silvester Czanner, Head of the School of Computer and Engineering Sciences. It will take place on Monday, February 9, from 6.30pm to 8pm, at the School of Education, room 016, on the Exton Park campus. Tea and coffee will be available from 6pm, with a complimentary drink served afterwards.
Medical education is currently undergoing a significant shift. While traditional approaches relied heavily on static textbooks and bedside teaching, modern training increasingly uses advanced imaging technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to provide more dynamic, detailed and interactive insights into human anatomy.
Innovations in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), in particular, are enabling clinicians, students and researchers to visualise and quantify anatomical structures with a level of precision not previously possible, supporting improved diaosis, treatment planning and learning outcomes.
During the lecture, Professor Czanner will present his latest research at the intersection of medical imaging, applied computer science and education, demonstrating how enhanced digital anatomical representations are improving diagnostic accuracy, strengthening clinical decision-making and elevating the training of healthcare professionals.
The event will highlight how digital anatomy is unlocking new opportunities across teaching, learning and clinical practice, offering valuable insights for anyone interested in the future of healthcare education.
