Awards

• December 2008 - ANZ Journal of Surgery

  "...useful site for anatomical variations and cross-sectional anatomy..."

• June 2008 - International Journal of Anatomical Variations

  ...our aim is to constitute an online compendium for anatomical variations similar to the invaluable book written by Ronad A Bergman, Adel K Afifi and Ryosuke Miyauchi [Bergman RA, Afifi AK, Miyauchi R. Compendium of Human Anatomical Variations. Baltimore: Urban and Scdhwarzenberg. 1988]. - (Note this book is the basis of Anatomy Atlases' own Illustrated Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variations)

• May 2008 - Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging

  "...a set of useful educational anatomy atlases..."

• December 15, 2007 - British Medical Journal Careers

  "This is an extensive collection of anatomical images and makes an excellent reference tool. As well as conventional line drawings of each section of the body, there are cross sectional images, microanatomy slides, and a list of links to various digital image banks. The index is easy to follow and the "search" facility is also useful. A clinical section includes relevant anatomy for procedures such as chest drain insertion and amputation."

• September 2007 - Student British Medical Journal

  "The Anatomy Atlases database has an extensive encyclopedia, complete with images and videos, and a unique section on the anatomy of first aid."

• February 1, 2007 - Diagnostic Imaging Europe

  "All the anatomy you will ever need is here."

• August 24, 2006 - Los Angeles Times

  "'Atlas of Human Anatomy' offers fantastic images of human body parts."

• July 2006 - How to Excel in Medical School by Norma Swsswin Saks, Ed.D. and Mark Ari Saks, M.D. M.P.H.

  "This is an anatomy atlas with detailed labeled drawings."

• April 2006 - Clinical Anatomy

  "Finally, the human body exhibits an infinite variety of variations from "normal" structure, as well as, normal and variant development of structures with age. It is unrealistic to expect that samples of all variations at all stages of development can be sectioned, so information on aging and body variation must be cataloged and coded for use in simulations. The best electronic collection of this kind is currently provided by Bergman et al. at Anatomy Atlases."

• March 2006 - Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England

  "This work [Atlas of Human Anatomy in Cross Section] provides a high-quality colour photographic and radiological atlas of cross-sectional anatomy...This is a great resource for the anatomist, surgeon, and radiologist. Given its easy-to-use format and attractive photography it may also act as a good educational and diagnostic aid."

• February 2005 - Southern Medical Journal

  "The Atlas of Microscopic Anatomy is aimed at promoting an understanding of the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs as viewed under light microscopy. Classroom-oriented, it provides concise structural/functional correlations clearly labeled for easy assimilation."
