Abstract
This paper describes the use of portable ultrasound imaging in the
teaching of living anatomy to undergraduate medical students. The
paper outlines the rationale for using portable imaging technologies
in undergraduate anatomy teaching, as well as the practical issues
which must be considered in designing and delivering such
teaching activities. The following areas are discussed in the paper:
obtaining appropriate consent from the volunteers who are being
scanned and ensuring their health and safety during and after
scanning, ensuring optimum set-up of the learning environment,
use of the equipment and designing appropriate learning activities
for undergraduate teaching
