Sample Text: Computer-based education (CBE) and computer-based instruction (CBI) are the broadest terms and can refer to virtually any kind of computer use in educational settings. Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) or Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) is a narrower term and most often refers to drill-and-practice, tutorial, or simulation activities. Computer-managed instruction (CMI) Computer-managed instruction is an instructional strategy whereby the computer is used to provide learning objectives, learning resources, record keeping, progress tracking, and assessment of learner performance.
Computer based tools and applications are used to assist the teacher or school administrator in the management of the learner and instructional process. It is under this aspect that SAMPro web application aimed to be of benefits among teachers and students under the Patient Specific Anatomical Model field of study.
Patient anatomy is the most important component of any surgical procedure definition. Modern anatomical description introduced by Andrée Vésale is based on a description of human anatomy from “human alive or having lived” represented by an average and standardized anatomy. All patients being different, the average anatomy has been defined by variation or exception. Since Andrée Vésale and his “De Humani Corporis Fabrica”, anatomy has been progressively improved thanks to new techniques and technologies, increasing variations but making the average anatomy more precise. This anatomy has a major benefit: it allows physicians to use standardized names and labels. Surgical procedures have then been more easily explained and described for improved knowledge sharing.
Over the past century, medical imaging has brought a new revolution: internal anatomy of a patient could be seen without any invasive technique. Current 3D and 4D medical imaging can thus provide today patient-specific anatomical data including geometry, topology and also function of organs. But this revolution has highlighted both main limits of the current anatomy. The first one is that interpretation of image information and of visible anatomical variations is totally dependent on the physician’s knowledge and can vary from one case to another. The second one is that variation description is ever more important, all patients being different. These drawbacks can sometimes be so great that they create mistakes in the anatomical description of patients and their associated surgical eligibility.
