With the resources now available for learning anatomy by interactive computer models accessible with online websites (Kim et al. 2003; http://www.aip.org/dbis), the need for atlases of human anatomy would appear to become increasingly redundant. The demise of anatomy as a moribund subject of study is thankfully resurrected by the aesthetic artistry inherent in anatomical atlases. Indeed, the tribute paid on the opening page of this atlas: ‘Hic locus est ubi mors gaudet succurrere vitae’[Here is the place where death delights in resuscitating life (inscription above the Anatomical Theatre of Bologna)] revives the roots of anatomical studies. The advent of the 6th edition of this well-established atlas is indicative of its previous success, and this new edition surpasses its predecessors (reviewed in the Journal of Anatomy197: 514–515, 2000). The author successfully correlates the classical representation of anatomical drawings with the new demands of ‘imaging’ practice created by the technologies of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized axial tomography (CAT) and radiography. The combination of juxtaposed photographs, diagrams, radiographs, CAT scans, MRI tomograms, ultrasonographs and radioactive scintigraphs makes this atlas eminently suitable for clinicians as well as academic anatomists. A pertinent addendum to most drawings is a scale size, in percentages, relative to the actual size of adult specimens. The scant text, with American spelling, utilizes the Terminologica Anatomica, with synonyms and eponymous appelations that emphasizes the historical origins of anatomy's pioneers. A detailed index of eponyms, revealing the historiography of early anatomists will delight historians of anatomy. This set of atlases deserves to join the pantheon of illustrious treatises depicting human anatomy on the websites devoted to iconographic classic historical anatomy atlases (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/exhibition/historicalanatomies/home.html and http://link.library.utoronto.ca/anatomia/application/index.cfm). The publisher has done full justice to the contents by printing on acid-free glossy paper, which, together with the hard covers of two books, weighs in at a hefty eight pounds. These volumes are unquestionably worth their relatively modest price and are a bibliophile's delight.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
