however, there are several interesting collections that are accessible
to everyone on the Web.

ONLINE HUMAN ANATOMY IMAGES FOR EDUCATORS

Vesalius is a free online graphical educational resource for the
medical and surgical communities provided by Lion Reef Software. The
site contains two primary sections: Image Archive and Clinical Folios.
The Vesalius Image Archive is a collection of images for sixteen
regions of the human body. Its purpose is to give physicians a free,
downloadable source of images that can be used for education and
reference. Users with version 4.0 or better of Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape can access images that can be highlighted and
marked up with pointers and arrows and then downloaded. The Vesalius
Clinical Folios are a "collection of short educational narratives
designed for online reference and study. . . arranged by topic and
presented in three basic formats: storyboards, procedures, and
transparencies." Vesalius is located at 
<http://www.vesalius.com/>
