The human sectional anatomy is the science which studies the position, shape and the relationship of the normal human organs and structures at the sections, it is a new discipline emerging with the great development of imaging technology and clinical applications. Recently, the imaging equipments,such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are greatly applied and popularized in clinical, most medical colleges and universities in China establish the curriculum of the human sectional anatomy in image and medicine majors, which becomes a main professional compulsory course following the systemic anatomy and regional anatomy.
