Progress in electronically supported reconstruction of medical images has made 2D and 3D imaging an important part of diagnostic imaging. This poses specific demands on groups of professionals such as radiographers. We quantitatively compared the learning outcome of virtual 3D simulation using Sectra Table and traditional anatomy teaching. The study population was two cohorts of Danish radiographer students. The first cohort completed an anatomy course based on virtual 3D simulation; the second cohort completed a course of similar length based on traditional anatomy teaching. The students’ knowledge of 3D anatomy was tested before and after the intervention and changes in test results were compared. There were no statistically significant differences between learning outcomes for the two cohorts of radiographer students concerning knowledge of 3D anatomy. The results indicate, however, that Sectra Table can be a valuable supplement to traditional class teaching in 3D anatomy for radiographer students.
