The Virtual Spine Web site is launched.
Welcome to the Toronto Western Hospital Department of Anesthesia and Pain Management Virtual Spine website. This site is intended to be a resource for educators and students looking for tools to facilitate the teaching and learning of Spine Anatomy and Regional Anesthesia of the Spine.
This project was initiated by Dr. Vincent Chan and Dr. Ahtsham Niazi to create interactive online teaching modules to compliment the educational material on Dr. Chan's Ultrasound for Regional Anesthesia Web site.
The Lumbar Anatomy Teaching Module has been designed to aid students and educators to understand and teach lumbar spinal anatomy.
The Lumbar Spine Ultrasound module is aimed at teaching ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia for the lumbar spine. It includes an animation illustrating the flexion of the lumbar spine during patient positioning to open the intervertebral spaces, facilitating the insertion of needles into the spinal canal.
