The Computed Tomography project of the Institute of Anatomy aims primarily to enhance the teaching and research activities of the University through the innovative use of advanced radiological technologies. Thanks to CT, high-resolution scans of bodies donated to science will be possible, allowing students and researchers to thoroughly explore human anatomy with precise and realistic three-dimensional reconstructions. These 3D models are exceptional educational tools, facilitating the spatial understanding of complex anatomical structures. Additionally, the availability of detailed CT images will enable the development of translational research projects, significantly impacting clinical practice. The data obtained will indeed foster interdisciplinary collaboration among anatomists, radiologists, surgeons and clinicians, with the shared goal of improving diagnoses, treatments, and surgical techniques. Finally, CT will be used in the study and conservation of the anatomical museum heritage of the Institute, allowing in-depth, non-invasive analysis of historical artifacts. This activity is particularly important for safeguarding, restoring, and promoting anatomical collections, preserving their scientific and cultural value for future generations.
