Core Capabilities

1. Regional Anatomy Quizzes

Generate focused quizzes by body region:

from scripts.quiz_generator import QuizGenerator
generator = QuizGenerator()
Generate thorax quiz
quiz = generator.generate_quiz(
    region="thorax",
    topics=["heart", "lungs", "mediastinum", "thoracic_wall"],
    difficulty="intermediate",
    n_questions=20
)
Export for LMS
quiz.export(format="json", filename="thorax_quiz.json")

Supported Regions: | Region | Subtopics | Question Types | |--------|-----------|----------------| | Head & Neck | Skull, cranial nerves, triangles, viscera | Identification, pathways, clinical | | Thorax | Heart, lungs, mediastinum, pleura | Relations, auscultation, imaging | | Abdomen | GI tract, retroperitoneum, vessels | Peritoneal reflections, vascular supply | | Pelvis | Organs, perineum, walls | Gender differences, clinical correlations | | Upper Limb | Shoulder, arm, forearm, hand | Muscle actions, innervation, clinical | | Lower Limb | Hip, thigh, leg, foot | Gait, compartments, clinical exams | | Back | Vertebral column, spinal cord, muscles | Levels, landmarks, clinical |

2. Neuroanatomy Pathway Tracing

Specialized quizzes for neural pathways:

# Neuroanatomy quiz
neuro_quiz = generator.generate_neuro_quiz(
    pathway_type="motor",  # or "sensory", "cranial_nerves", "reflexes"
    include_lesions=True,
    clinical_correlations=True
)

Pathway Types:

3. Clinical Correlation Questions

Integrate anatomy with clinical scenarios:

clinical_quiz = generator.generate_clinical_quiz(
    region="abdomen",
    scenario_types=["surgery", "radiology", "physical_exam"],
    difficulty="advanced"
)

Question Formats:

Clinical Scenario:
"A 45-year-old male presents with epigastric pain radiating to the back. 
CT shows a mass in the lesser sac."
Question: "Which artery runs immediately posterior to the body of the 
pancreas and would be at risk during resection?"
A) Splenic artery
B) Superior mesenteric artery
C) Common hepatic artery
D) Left gastric artery
Correct: B) Superior mesenteric artery
Explanation: The SMA emerges from the aorta at L1 and passes posterior 
to the neck of the pancreas and anterior to the uncinate process...

4. Adaptive Learning System

Adjust difficulty based on performance:

from scripts.adaptive import AdaptiveEngine
engine = AdaptiveEngine()
Track student performance
student_progress = engine.track_performance(
    student_id="student_001",
    quiz_results=results,
    time_per_question=True
)
Generate personalized quiz targeting weak areas
personalized = engine.generate_adaptive_quiz(
    student_progress=student_progress,
    focus_areas=["thorax_vessels", "cranial_nerves"],
    mastery_threshold=0.80
)

Adaptive Features:

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Pre-Exam Comprehensive Review

Scenario: Student preparing for anatomy practical exam in 2 weeks.

# Generate full-body comprehensive quiz
python scripts/main.py \
  --mode comprehensive \
  --regions all \
  --difficulty intermediate \
  --n-questions 100 \
  --timed \
  --output pre_practice_exam.json
Focus on weak areas identified
python scripts/main.py \
  --mode adaptive \
  --focus abdomen,pelvis \
  --difficulty advanced \
  --n-questions 30 \
  --output weak_areas_review.json

Study Schedule:

Pattern 2: Lab Session Preparation

Scenario: Student preparing for cadaver lab on upper limb.

# Pre-lab identification quiz
pre_lab = generator.generate_image_quiz(
    region="upper_limb",
    structure_types=["muscles", "vessels", "nerves"],
    label_type="pins",  # Pin identification format
    n_questions=15
)
Clinical correlation for post-lab
post_lab_clinical = generator.generate_clinical_quiz(
    region="upper_limb",
    clinical_types=["fractures", "nerve_injuries", "vascular"]
)

Lab Integration:

Pattern 3: USMLE Step 1 Preparation

Scenario: Medical student preparing for USMLE Step 1.

# USMLE-style clinical anatomy
python scripts/main.py \
  --mode usmle \
  --clinical-focus \
  --mix-basic-advanced 70:30 \
  --n-questions 40 \
  --timed-per-question 60 \
  --output usmle_anatomy_practice.json

USMLE Features:

Pattern 4: Teaching Assistant Lab Quiz

Scenario: TA needs to generate weekly lab quizzes.

# Weekly lab quiz
ta_quiz = generator.generate_ta_quiz(
    week_number=5,
    region="thorax",
    practical_stations=8,
    time_per_station=3,  # minutes
    include_prosection_images=True
)
Auto-generate answer key
answer_key = ta_quiz.generate_answer_key(
    include_acceptable_variations=True,
    grading_rubric="partial_credit"
)

Complete Workflow Example

Comprehensive anatomy study session:

# Step 1: Diagnostic quiz to identify weak areas
python scripts/main.py \
  --mode diagnostic \
  --regions all \
  --n-questions 50 \
  --output diagnostic_results.json
Step 2: Generate focused study plan
python scripts/main.py \
  --analyze-results diagnostic_results.json \
  --generate-study-plan \
  --days 14 \
  --output study_plan.md
Step 3: Daily quizzes following plan
python scripts/main.py \
  --mode daily \
  --study-plan study_plan.md \
  --day 1 \
  --output day1_quiz.json
Step 4: Spaced repetition review
python scripts/main.py \
