Introduction: Topographic anatomy plays a key role in the training of future medical specialists, especially surgeons, radiologists, neurologists and other specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases associated with the complex anatomical structure of the body. Traditional teaching methods - anatomical atlases, curvilinear models and laboratory practices - have their limitations related to volume, accessibility and visualization capabilities. In modern medicine, the use of three-dimensional modeling technologies (3D modeling) is becoming increasingly popular, which allow creating accurate, interactive and easily accessible educational materials. In this article, we will consider the advantages, modern practices and prospects for the introduction of 3D modeling in the teaching of topographic anatomy. 1. Relevance of using 3D modeling in medical education Medical knowledge requires constant updating and deepening. Topographic anatomy is a section that involves understanding the spatial relationships of various body structures. Traditionally, its teaching was based on the use of two-dimensional images, even in the presence of 3D atlases. However, such methods often do not sufficiently reflect the complex spatial orientation of structures. With the development of 3D technologies, the possibilities have expanded significantly: Interactive learning - the student can independently rotate models, zoom in and out, get different angles. Three-dimensional perception - modeling allows you to better understand the location of blood vessels, nerves, muscles, bones. Accessibility - online platforms allow you to study at any time and from anywhere in the world. According to research, the use of 3D models improves memorability and the quality of assimilation of material, reduces errors in practical activities (Zhang et al., 2021). 2. Modern 3D modeling technologies and their implementation in education There are several technologies and tools used to create and apply 3D models: Data sources: Mainly computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and anatomical scans, which allow obtaining very accurate digital 3D images. Software: platforms such as 3DSlicer, OsiriX, Blender, Unity remain popular for creating interactive models. Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR): devices such as Oculus Rift, HTC Vive or Microsoft HoloLens allow for interactive learning in virtual spaces and modeling spatial relationships of structures. These technologies create immersive environments https://doi.org/10.37547/ajbspi/Volume05Issue05-03 https://doi.org/10.37547/ajbspi/Volume05Issue05-03 American Journal of Applied Science and Technology 9 https://theusajournals.com/index.php/ajast American Journal of Applied Science and Technology (ISSN: 2771-2745) where the student can “immerse” himself in the interior of the human body and study its anatomical features. 3. Benefits of Using 3D Modeling in Teaching Topographic Anatomy Using 3D technology offers a number of benefits: 3.1 Improved understanding of spatial relationships 3D models convey complex relationships between structures, which is especially important in areas where the precise location of vessels, nerve trunks and bones is critical. 3.2 Increased student motivation Interactive platforms make learning more interesting and engaging, stimulating independent learning. 3.3 Possibility of repeated learning of material Students can practice without the time and expense of physical models and bone casts. 3.4 Facilitation of distance learning The global transition to distance learning due to the coronavirus pandemic has shown the need to use online resources such as VR platforms and 3D tools. 3.5 Improved clinical skills Planning surgeries, simulating surgical interventions and training in surgical incision skills are possible thanks to accurate virtual models. 4. Examples of 3D modeling application in topographic anatomy 4.1 Head and neck anatomy training Creating detailed models of blood vessels, nerve trunks, muscles and bones of the head helps in training otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons and dentists. 4.2 Chest and abdominal anatomy training Models allow dynamic study of the location of the heart, lungs, large vessels, digestive organs, as well as vascular pathologies. 4.3 Surgical intervention planning Before operations, doctors use virtual models to simulate and select optimal approaches, which reduces risks. 5. Prospects and challenges of implementing 3D technologies Despite the obvious advantages, there are also difficulties associated with implementation: Cost of technology development and implementation — creating highly accurate models requires significant investment. Teacher training — advanced training courses are needed to work with new platforms. Content standardization — creating generally accepted methods and programs. Integration into the curriculum – Curriculums need to be adapted to accommodate these technologies. However, advances in artificial intelligence and computer-aided modeling promise to reduce these barriers and make 3D technology more accessible. Conclusion. The use of 3D modeling in teaching topographic anatomy is a promising direction that significantly improves the quality and efficiency of training medical specialists. Modern technologies allow not only to better understand complex anatomical structures, but also to prepare for real clinical situations, which contributes to increased patient safety and improved treatment outcomes. The implementation of such methods requires joint efforts of teachers, technologists and clinicians, but their potential justifies the costs and efforts. REFERENCES Асмоловский А. В., Шаматкова С. В.
