Fig.17
By the points listed in Fig.17 the atlas intends to be a useful online reference for medical education and research. It enables a visual journey through the whole body showing all relevant structures of gross anatomy and in so far contributes to a three-dimensional understanding of topographic relationships. All important structures of gross anatomy are labelled using the official terminology to make the atlas ideal for use throughout the world. By giving representative views of all relevant structures of all body regions next to corresponding radiological images a valuable reference for correlation of radiological and anatomical structures has been created.

In Fig.18 you see why the present atlas is published the internet as the most important medium of today and future times to retrieve and present knowledge. Namely, the web offers possibilities that partly even CDs cannot provide and that are of great advantage in comparison to printed media. Since it is the aim to offer entirely correct labelling, the users of the atlas are requested to inform the author of imperfections via E-mail, as, in contrast to a book, publication in the internet offers the possibility of quick and easy correction.

Many people can benefit from the internet atlas since the offered material can be used for teaching as well as learning gross anatomy in general (Fig.19). The spectrum reaches from university, health care related schools and colleges to lay people interested in the construction of the human body.

The students who help to create teaching material for others by labelling the images in the workshop benefit in many ways (Fig.20) and acquire a special qualification useful for their later work as medical doctors and when seeking positions.
