Computer Application of Ultrasound and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Images for the Anatomical Learning of the Pelvis and the Female Pelvic Floor

Computer applications have been incorporated as valuable components in teaching, especially thanks to the advancement and innovation of new technologies during the last decades. The implementation of these computer developments in medicine and in the field of medical teaching with different utilities has been a revolution. This is manifested with greater intensity in certain medical specialties and in different areas of medical education, for example in the study of human anatomy, especially in parts of the human body of great complexity such as the pelvis and the pelvic floor of women. New technologies are also important in the use, study and interpretation of radiological tests, including ultrasound and nuclear magnetic resonance. This implies a change in the study and learning techniques of students, resident doctors and specialists in gynecology, radiodiagnosis, urology and many other medical specialties, considering new computer developments as a good alternative or complement to existing teaching methods. For this reason, we consider that computer programs like the one we present in this work can be very useful in the future of education and more specifically in the training of specialists in medicine.
