Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Undergraduate medical imaging education has recently moved towards making anatomy course content directly applicable to future clinical practice. Teaching anatomy to medical imaging students can prove challenging. Being a “dry subject” the link between theory and practice is not always appreciated by students. Furthermore, the use of cadaveric dissection as a teaching tool is rare [1]. In recent years with the advancement of technology, integration of imaging technology within anatomy courses in health science programmes, has become an essential component in supporting student learning [2]. Ultrasound is considered one of the safest imaging technologies, utilising ultrasonic waves to form images of the internal human anatomy[3]. Ultrasound provides realtime regional visualization of the gross anatomical structures in two-dimensional and non-irradiating ways to study the body organs[4]. This provides an opportunity for students to study living anatomy through ultrasound utilisation.
