ABSTRACT
Objective To explore SECTRA 3D real-time reconstruction of virtual simulation technology in the anat-omy teaching of otolaryngology. Methods Eighty medical students who have received traditional class teaching of otolaryngology anatomy joined the SECTRA 3D real-time reconstruction class to study the major anatomic knowledge of otolaryngology. Questionnaires and exams were provided for them before and after the SECTRA 3D real-time re-construction class. Results The test scores were 79.19±10.39 before 3D class and 87.69±10.25 after 3D class. After teaching, the scores improved significantly.Conclusions Application of SECTRA real-time reconstruction of 3D virtual simulation technology in otolaryngology anatomy teaching, can help medical students to master the ana-tomical knowledge better than the traditional class teaching and can stimulate their interests to learn otolaryngology anatomy.
