Anatomy E-Learning Tools

Lately I was exposed to two anatomy E-Learning tools.

One of them was introduced already in "Medical 2.0 directory".
It's the Visiblebody.
It will be open to the public in mid November but from what I can observe its going to take central place in the web regarding to Anatomy studies and education.The site will include whole body 3-D model .Its going to be fully interactive and free to use by everyone through the net.

A competitor on the exact field is the already exist web tool for learning anatomy on the web called : AIA 4 (A.D.A.M Interactive Anatomy 4).
Its the fourth version from A.D.A.M company - An interactive web tool for anatomy education and learning.
Contrary to Visiblebody, AIA4 is not free. You can try a demo by filling short register file in their website.
AIA4 offering :
1. 3-D library
2. digital database of detailed anatomical images , including illustrated, fully dissectible male and female bodies.
3.over 570 Clinical Illustrations to apply anatomy learning in a clinical setting.
Etc.

Its cannot replace the traditional anatomy studies but it can offer great added tools and added value for Med students as others on the field.
It can be a place for so many curious people who desire to learn understand and explore our magnificent human body
