The converted pictures were were oriented according to radiological standard, trimmed and prepared to appear on a black background (Fig.5). For labelling black margins were added in order not to cover the pictures by the letters. Labelling was performed mostly by instructed students attending the workshop according to the present international terminology, Terminologia Anatomica, by using different anatomical atlases and books. After thorough checks, revision, correction and trimming, internet pages were composed.

In Fig.6 you see such a web page. As many structures as possible and reasonable were labelled on the pages with marked sections. When a structure was not labelled, it was either not clearly visible or there was not sufficient space available. In that case, the structure was labelled on the neighbouring sections. There is no strict uniformity in the layout, thus all labelled images reflect the individuality of the involved student whose name is given below the image.

Fig.7 (link to atlas page)
As you can see in Fig.7 images are presented in full original pixel resolution in all pages of original sectionsin the head, neck and lower limb regions. Prepared sections, available corresponding CT and MR-images, and in some cases icons of details enlarged on linked pages were arranged with further links using the Netscape Composer™.

The images of pages with sections of the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic regions were reduced to half size with a link to the full-sized picture in order not to push the CT scans out of the screen (Fig.8).
