Medical students at the University of Aberdeen are being helped by the development of 3D medical imaging technology.

The university is working with the Digital Learning Foundation on the pilot of software which can transform a medical imaging scan into a 3D image.

The data can then be studied by medical students wearing special glasses like those worn by audiences watching 3D films in cinemas.

Prof Ron Keenan, a retired NHS Grampian consultant surgeon who is now involved in teaching medical students, said: "The facility is a unique and exciting advance for the University of Aberdeen.

The 3D medical imaging facility will be a fantastic teaching tool that will help their medical students gain a greater insight into organs in our body and how they relate to other parts of the body.
