| Anatomy on the Internet |
Loyola University Chicago |
A page of links to other anatomy references online. A good place to start a search if you can't find what you're looking for with the other sites listed here. |
Many links. |
Just links. |
| Anesthesia textbook |
Yale University |
A detailed text on anesthesia for doctors. Interesting for the amount of information given on anesthesia equipment. |
Highly detailed. Links to other anesthesia references. |
Too detailed for people without a medical background. |
| Digital Anatomist Project/Interactive Atlas |
University of Washington |
Links to image slices of the brain, thoracic viscera (chest), and knee. Also a link to an interactive neuroanatomy syllabus. |
Detailed slices and 3-D reconstructions. Animations of 3-D constructions may be the most helpful. |
At a more detailed level than most engineers want to know. Helpful to know anatomy and terminology before visiting the site. |
| Gray's Anatomy |
Bartleby.com |
Gray's Anatomy text online. Revised text and 1,247 illustrations from the 1918 edition. Incredible anatomical drawings that are still relevant today. |
A good reference for looking up anatomical images of body regions or systems. Covers the entire anatomy. Drawings are mostly of Joe Caucasian. |
Search engine is mediocre. Difficult to find images of very specific anatomy. A lot of text to wade through. |
| Integrated Medical Curriculum |
Gold Standard Multimedia, Inc. |
Great site! Good as a reference or tutorial in many areas: Physiology, anatomy, microscopic anatomy, at a first-year medical student level. |
Great physiology module. Useful graphics. |
Doesn’t cover clinical settings. Can’t lookup specific diseases or conditions. Requires a little biology or medical background. |
| Kosin University Online Medical Textbook Links |
Kosin University |
A list of links to online medical textbooks. More comprehensive than many others. |

| Medical Student .com |
Michael P. D'Alessandro, M.D. |
A huge page of links to anatomy sites as well as to medical specialty web pages. |
Has a large number of links. Links to some amazing and useful sites. |
Takes a long time to find what you're looking for. Poorly indexed. |
| Merck Manual |
Merck &Co., Inc. |
A comprehensive guide of medical diseases, conditions, and treatments. Primarily a text-based encyclopedia. |
Highly detailed. Comprehensive. |
No graphics. Best if you know the specific medical term for the condition you are looking up. Not useful for looking up information on medical devices. Search engine tends to find unrelated pages. |
| Student Doctor Network |
SDN Communications, Inc. |
A site designed for students trying to get into med school. Content includes med student diaries, chat rooms, books to buy, and links. |
|
|
| SUMMIT |
Stanford University Medical Media and Information Technologies |
Check out the Stanford medical student resources: online course content and video lectures, simulation-based learning tools, the Visible Human project (image slices), and more. |
In-depth resources. Simulations for medical training could be very helpful for some projects. |
You'll need a chunk of time to explore and familiarize yourself with what's there. Not good as a quick reference. |
| Transesophogeal Echocardiography |
Yale University |
Graphics and text illustrating the use of transesophogeal echocardiography for diagnosing some heart conditions. |
Good for understanding how the procedure works. Good for understanding general 2-D flow conditions. Contains a good level of information for engineers. Helpful graphics. |
Can't search by condition. |
| UW Online Medical Textbook Links |
University of Washington |
A list of links to online medical textbooks. Includes pathology, family practice, dermatology, diagnostic procedures, and more. |
