LRC Image Collections

Anatomy Teaching Assistant is a presentation tool featuring all 2,000+ stunning illustrations and clinical images from Gilroy et al, "Atlas of Anatomy". This is the atlas that the images in Blinking Skull in Thieme E-Books are pulled from. You can save images from this online version of the atlas to use in your course material as well as have your students use the full atlas or the smaller, blinking skull version. To be able to down load images you need to set up a free user account. Click on the logon box in the upper right corner of page to get to the page with the create account link (or click here).
