CQU Chiropractic students peruse hi-tech anatomical table
By Greg Chapman
CQUniversity Brisbane’s chiropractic and allied health students will be able to peer inside the human body with a simple flick of the wrist with the recent installation of the state-of-the-art Anatomage table.
The table displays highly detailed digital images of human cadavers, allowing CQU lecturers to provide a realistic learning experience for the students.
Master of Clinical Chiropractic student Angelique Haas-Maganas tried her hand at using the Anatomage table and said she was astounded by the technology.
“I think the Anatomage table will be such a great tool for my chiropractic studies. It includes such advanced technology and everything related to the human body and anatomy,” she said.
“I love how it is interactive and you can select so many different things to see different parts of the anatomy. This table is a fun and educational way of learning that will greatly advance my knowledge on human anatomy.”
Fellow Master of Clinical Chiropractic student Clayton Booth said he was very excited to use the table as part of his studies.
“After being shown our new Anatomage table, I am very excited to use this new resource. I think the table can be an incredibly versatile tool that can show us aspects of anatomy that we would never otherwise be able to picture accurately,” he said.
“I am excited to see how our lecturers use the table to give us new perspectives on the human body and give us ways to visualise areas of human anatomy that we've never seen before all in one place.
“Overall I think the Anatomage table will prove to be a great resource for the CQU Brisbane campus and will really add to our on-campus learning experience.”
CQU Chiropractic Head of Course Dawn Dane said the Chiropractic teaching team was excited to have an asset like the Anatomage table.
“It is an exciting time in healthcare education, we are excited to be able to share such an innovative learning experience with our students,” she said.
“The table allows for detailed exploration of human anatomy as well as functional anatomy and physiology in a way that, previously, was simply not possible.”
