Health Science instructors at DeKalb County Technology Center are excited to introduce their students to a new, state-of-the-art learning tool.
Instructors Paula Carroll and Meagan Hale said the Anatomage Teaching Table keeps their students engaged and makes learning anatomy fun.
According to Anatomage.com, the Anatomage Table is the “most advanced real-human-based medical education system.” This platform offers digitized human cadavers and superior medical learning tools, transforming medical education and training.
The Anatomage Teaching Table supplements the Health Science program’s anatomy and physiology course content and allows students to learn about the human body in a new way.

The large touchscreen table displays life-sized 3D models of real human bodies. These models were created based on scans of actual cadavers, giving users an incredibly detailed and realistic experience.
Students get a closer look at the human anatomy with the table.“Unlike traditional textbooks or even 2D images, you can rotate, zoom in, or even remove certain structures layer by layer, just like in a real dissection,” said Hale.
The Anatomage Table also includes a variety of patient cases, so you can explore not only normal anatomy, but also medical conditions. It allows students, medical professionals, and researchers to explore human anatomy in 3D detail without needing a physical cadaver.
In short, the table provides a virtual dissection experience and can simulate anything from heart catheterization to the health of an unborn fetus.
“You can dissect and analyze every part of the body from any angle, view organs, muscles, nerves, and even see pathology cases. It’s like having a real human body available at any time, but in digital form,” said Hale.
The Anatomy Table is featured in various industries, including medical schools, medical and simulation centers, undergraduate healthcare, and K-12 schools, and DeKalb County is proud to be included on the list.
“I am so thankful we are able to offer our health science students this amazing opportunity,” said Carroll.
