The institution not too long ago unveiled the Acsclepius TBK 84 EA Virtual Dissection Table, an advanced 84-inch interactive 3D platform designed for anatomy, radiology, and surgical simulation.
The equipment, supplied by 3B Scientific, Germany, represents a major investment in cutting-edge educational technology.
University officials described the development as a transformative milestone that redefines the traditional anatomy theatre.

“With this breakthrough, TAU medical students and doctors can now perform a wide range of advanced learning and clinical simulations, including virtual dissections of life-size human cadavers, real-time conversion of CT and MRI scans into detailed 3D models, and simulation of complex pre-surgical procedures.
“They can also conduct in-depth studies in histopathology, radiology, and endoscopy, as well as comparative anatomy across over 40 animal species.
“The platform further enhances learning through access to more than 12,000 curriculum-based assessment questions, enabling students to test their knowledge and sharpen diagnostic skills in a highly interactive environment.”
The university reaffirmed its commitment to academic excellence and innovation, stating that the acquisition aligns with its vision of delivering world-class education within the nation.
