An@tomedia™ is a unique way to learn about the anatomy of the human body. It is a comprehensive, self-paced learning program that explores anatomy from four different perspectives. These perspectives teach you how the body is constructed (from regions and systems) and how you can deconstruct the body (with dissection and imaging techniques).

Each screen contains interactive images (or movies) complemented by text. Structures and regions in each image may be labelled and/or highlighted with colour overlays, for a focus on what is critically important. Specific information may also be easily accessed via the index or search engine.

An@tomedia™ provides:

• detailed serial dissections of real human bodies
• coloured overlays of individual structures
• multiple perspectives to explore anatomy and compare
• flexibility to choose your approach, rate, sequence and depth of learning
• interactive text, labels and clinical questions
• new concepts in anatomy and relevant clinical applications
• capacity to 'build' systems, 'map' regions, 'dissect' layers and 'trace' images
• a self learning resource with a solid educational basis
• has a simple and consistent navigation system

Nine modules will be available on completion of the project:  General Anatomy, Back, Abdomen, Thorax, Pelvis, Upper Limb, Lower Limb, Neck and Head.

An@tomedia will appeal not only to medical students, but also to medical practitioners. Health-care workers will find it useful for clinical practice and for communication with patients. An@tomedia is also recommended to teachers from countries where dissection is not done for cultural, financial, or other reasons.
