A hi-tech 'virtual cadaver' is being made available for teaching - so students can investigate the human anatomy at the touch of a screen.

The device, at The University of Edinburghs School of Anatomy, will enable medical students to examine the human body by virtually dissecting it.

Dubbed the Anatomage Table, it shows life-sized male and female bodies created from CT scans, allowing the cadaver to be seen from front to back, side to side and upside down.
