The Medical Museum is one of the divisions of the Medical Information Center, Jikei University. It provides audiovisual learning resources including medical specimens, slide and video programs, computer softwares, and so on. For more effective learning about human organs, the plastination technic has been recently introduced for preparing medical specimens in our museum. Specimens preparing by the plastination technic maintain their original size and color. Here in are described the characteristics of plastination specimens which may be superior to the ones made by other technics in observing organs.
