Measure and observe
Subcutaneous adipose tissue, fascia, muscle and their relations: measured, observed with ultrasound and seen with your own eyes.

Anatomicus venue, Milan
The only course that relates, on the same day, the measured figure to the real tissue: the tools you use every day, ultrasound and anthropometric measurements, used first on the anatomical specimen and then on a living person. A day opening the ANATOMICUS Cadaver Lab, led by Prof. Francesco Campa.
Rationale
From percentage to real tissue
Many professionals assess body composition every day — fat mass percentage, lean mass, adipose tissue distribution — without ever having seen directly, on a human anatomical specimen, what those numbers represent.
On this day body composition is approached not only through numbers, but through real anatomy.
Before and after dissection
Ultrasound on the specimen is repeated after dissection and compared with what was recorded before.
From the specimen to a living person
The same reading is then carried over to a living person, in the classroom, with ultrasound and anthropometry.
In the dissection room
From the measured figure to real tissue.
Specimen
The measured figure, next to the real tissue
Work is done on a real human anatomical specimen; the same parameters are then measured on a living person. Participants see what the ultrasound shows, compare it with the dissection of the same region and carry that reading over to a living person.
Audience
For those who assess body composition every day
Professionals who work with fat mass, lean mass and adipose tissue distribution, and want to see on an anatomical specimen what those numbers represent.
Nutrition
Nutrition biologists, dietitians, dietologists and nutrition physicians.
Movement and sport
Kinesiologists, physiotherapists and sports physicians.
Medicine
Endocrinologists, geriatricians and general practitioners focused on lifestyle and metabolic medicine.
Do you recognise yourself in one of these profiles?
No ultrasound experience is needed.
Method
Hands-on experience, not just theory
Ultrasound in the dissection room and anthropometry in the classroom, on an anatomical specimen and on a living person.
- 01
Ultrasound on the specimen
In the dissection room: identifying the layers — skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, muscle — with the ultrasound image on screen.
- 02
Ultrasound and anthropometry on a living person
In the classroom, on a living person among the participants.
- 03
Ultrasound–anatomy correlation
Direct observation of the dissected region: adipose tissue, fascia, muscle, any fatty infiltration.
- 04
Critical reading of the data
Discussion linking functional assessment, ultrasound imaging and real anatomy.

|---|---|
| 09:00 – 09:30 | Welcome, introduction to the day and to body composition. |
| 09:30 – 11:00 | Ultrasound on the anatomical specimen in the dissection room: identifying the layers (skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, muscle) with the ultrasound image on screen. |

FAQ
Before You Register
Answers to the most frequent questions about the course.
Have another question? Write to us: we reply within 24 working hours.
Do I need previous ultrasound experience?
No: you learn to observe and understand, not to become a sonographer.
Do we really work on a cadaveric specimen?
Yes, on a real human anatomical specimen; the same parameters are then measured on a living person.
How many places are there?
Maximum 20 participants.
Does the course award CME credits?
Al termine della giornata Anatomicus rilascia la certificazione di partecipazione.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothing, suitable for measurements.
Will there be other editions?
Yes, depending on interest, at the next Cadaver Labs.
