目的

用三维模拟的方法为学生提供翼腭窝解剖的直观展示，加强学生对该解剖部位的理解，以期取得更好的教学效果。

方法

应用Dicom 数据进行翼腭窝三维建模。三维重建软件横断面窗口上翼腭窝及与之相通的骨孔位置创建sphere 对象。 轻度移动横断面窗口中各解剖位置上的sphere，在三维视窗中可以同时观察到各解剖位置上的sphere 的移动情况。

结果

可将翼腭窝各切面直观地展示给学生，并同时结合三维展示，学生易于理解翼腭窝的解剖结构。

结论

应用三维模拟技术在翼腭窝解剖教学中可取得更好的教学效果。

Objective

To present students with direct view of the anatomy of pterygopalatine fossa.

Methods

A 3D virtual pterygopalatine fossa was reconstructed using Dicom data. Sphere objects were created in the virtual pterygopalatine fossa and foramens that connected to it in the intersectional view window. The movements of the sphere objects were observed in 3D view window simultaneously.

Results

Not only slices of different orientations but also 3D images could be shown to students simultaneously， which made it possible for them to understand the anatomy of this area easily.

Conclusion

Better effect can be achieved in the teaching of anatomy of pterygopalatine fossa by using 3D reconstruction technique.
