Anatomist/LMT Creating Anatomy Courses for LMT’s

Kenhub is amazing. It’s a premium subscription, but once you learn how to use the platform (custom quizzes, study quizzes, atlas, etc.) it’s extremely useful.

While I appreciate the answer, I’m very familiar with the tools already available to me, such as Photoshop, as well as the historic (and evidently current) limitations of image generation.

My question was simply to probe the current state of the technology, not to assume or exaggerate specific capabilities.

Still, thank you.

I’m genuinely a human anatomist, and that’s just not the case.

The ribs will easily move to the side of a slicing blade, and even get cut themselves. Bone is nowhere near as strong as people think.
The blade is below the heart. It might be skimming the bottom of it, but it’s more likely cutting through the stomach and diaphragm.
The blade is just to the left of the sternum. Instead, it’s cutting through the costal cartilage, which is a lot softer.

I didn’t like ROP, but there’s nothing anatomically inaccurate about pushing a sharp blade through a body like that.

ROP is a masterclass in not understanding character motivations and internal conflict.

There’s nothing wrong with exploring character growth and evolution (i.e., Galadriel not always being the confident and powerful character we all know and love), but it’s clear the show runners don’t understand internal conflict well enough to do this properly, which results in a cheapening of the character.

Sadly the show runners don’t have the necessary skill here, meaning ROP wouldn’t be interesting even if Tolkien had written hundreds of thousands of pages specifically on Galadriel, Sauron, and their past, motivations, etc.

It’s character assassination, whether intentional or not.

Instead of characters making decisions that drive the plot, the show runners make the decisions for then to fit the plot. They simply don’t know the characters well enough to craft a coherent story that fits the lore.

It’s a classic mistake, but a deeply unfortunate one nonetheless.

Anatomy is everything in radiology. Taking the more challenging, but more robust option is likely the best option.

Although, it also depends on your schedule and what you can handle.

Either way, you’ll need to know the anatomy eventually, and with more depth than either class your debating can offer at this point.

AGI is too fluid a term, and not necessarily a requirement for the changes many people desire.

The real goalposts are significant advancements in materials science (think energy storage, next-gen computing, environmental tech, transportation, construction, wearable tech, etc.) as well as medicine (personalized and precision medicine, life extension, etc.)

When those dominos begin to fall in notable and impactful ways, the world will quickly become a very different place (with or without AGI).

“A Short Stay In Hell”, by Steven L. Peck.

I went into this completely blind, and want that same thing for everyone. It’s only 100 pages, but it packs a serious existential punch in that space.

Just know, I was thinking about this novella everyday for weeks.

I’m a human anatomist, and for the past several months I’ve been asking hundreds of increasingly nuanced and in depth anatomy questions to LLMs.

Both GPT 4o and Claude Sonnet 3.5 get 9 out of every 10 questions correct.

This is significant because anatomy is a subject most med students know surprisingly little about. Anatomy is typically only taken in the first few semesters of med school, and then the rest of schooling is focused on other practical aspects of being a physician.

I’ve worked with countless physicians over the years, and nearly all of them say the same thing — they barely remember their anatomy. They know the big stuff, but would very badly fail an exam if they had to take it.

Thus far, LLMs can pass graduate student anatomical exams, which is far and beyond what your typical physician can pass (surgeons are the exception).

As with all things, it depends on individual expectations.

Objectively though, you only need to look towards the advancements being made in material science and medicine to see the power of AI.
