I am an academic Radiologist who uses comics to teach medical students and residents.

#tiggesanatomy We start class with a Kahoot! quiz to guilt students into doing the prep work. If you want to learn how to use Kahoot!, go to “Learning to be Better Teachers” page of xraycomix.com.

#tiggesanatomy When students arrive, they grab a real vertebra or a 3D printed vertebra to help them with the cross sectional images.

#tiggesanatomy Downloaded Kahoot to your phone? Tap my head below to play “The Back” anatomy quizzes.

You must play these quizzes on your phone and you must have loaded the Kahoot! app on your phone. Just tap on on the links below! Note, both tests expire on 15 December at noon, so get on it!

Virtual Dissection # 1 Pre-test

Virtual Dissection # 1 Post-test

#tiggesanatomy By now students should have preped by reading the comic, watching the movie and doing the quiz on the M1 page of xraycomix.com.

#tiggesanatomy Today is the first cross sectional anatomy session of the semester: “The Back”. Earlier, one third of the students were in the cadaver lab doing a traditional dissesction of the back. All of the students are responsible for the cross sectional “Virtual Dissection”.

#tiggesanatomy OK, enough prep, tomorrow we’ll see how students do learning cross sectional anatomy. To get a preview of what we’re going to do, go to xraycomix.com, click on the M1 Anatomy page and scroll down to the cross sectional back images.

#tiggesanatomy Students have to do some prep work for the cross sectional anatomy that we are going to explore. Before class they have to read the comic that you can find
