Use patient-specific data as teaching material

A patient-specific imaging dataset can provide an anatomical reference for discussing a surgical region in training. It allows the instructor to explain the structures shown in the case, relate them to cross-sectional views, and introduce the anatomical context of a supervised exercise.

The material should be selected around the teaching objective. A session may examine regional orientation, the relationship between several structures, or how the same anatomy appears in different planes. Prepared views help establish a clear sequence, while interactive exploration leaves room for questions.

Anatomical atlases and human dissections can add context when learners need to revisit foundational anatomy. These resources should be presented as complementary references, with the distinction between general anatomical material and the selected patient dataset made explicit.

Connect visual teaching with practical training

Before a practical session, an instructor can use imaging to introduce the region and establish the terminology that will be used during the exercise. Learners can identify landmarks and explain structural relationships using a common visual reference. The level of detail can be adjusted to their experience.

After training, the same material can support debriefing. Participants can revisit the anatomical relationships, explain where their understanding was incomplete, and compare the views used during the introduction. Reusing the dataset gives the discussion continuity without requiring the group to orient itself to new material.

Recorded demonstrations can form part of a structured training library. Each recording can address a defined topic and follow a consistent sequence from orientation to detailed explanation. Such material supports revision and peer instruction alongside supervised practical teaching.

Collaboration

Discuss the same
anatomical reference.

Bring instructors and trainees into the same TeamXR session to discuss anatomical approaches.

For instructor-led sessions, teacher mode provides control over participant interaction while the material is explained. A session can combine a prepared presentation with questions and shared exploration, allowing participants to return to the same views when clarification is needed.

Record the explanation

Capture voice and 3D interactions with RecordXR for training and later discussion.
