com) were utilized by medical students in the research. 3D atlas applications such as Complete Anatomy (), Human Anatomy Atlas (Visible body), and Essential Anatomy (3D4Medical. The aim of this research is to investigate the impacts of 3D atlas applications on the students' understanding of gross anatomy and the possibility of incorporating it into the gross anatomy curriculum.

As the application manuals are easy to understand and the contents specific, they can be helpful in the learning of gross anatomy. In contrast, 3D atlas applications deal with entire body structures including muscles, nerves, vessels, and organs. Majority of the 3D models were 3D computer-based models, but they were of a quite different modality from the 3D atlas applications and dealt with only specific parts of the body such as the ear, larynx, or liver. 3D models which were utilized in previous research were 3D computer-based, web-based, and physical models. According to the review which identified studies exploring 3D anatomy models and their impact on learning, there was no solid evidence that the use of 3D models is superior to traditional teaching, and more studies are needed to examine the impacts of 3D models on learning using valid and appropriate tools. But another study showed that a computer-based anatomy model has several disadvantages compared to traditional teaching. One study showed that 3D anatomy models were effective instructional multimedia material tools in teaching human anatomy. Keywords: 3D atlas, Application, Anatomy, Medical education, Learning Additionally, the 3D atlas will show good synergy with the two-dimensional atlas if used properly in anatomy education, because most students think it is useful to use the 3D atlas. In conclusion, 3D atlas is not very helpful in acquiring deep anatomical knowledge or memorizing the location of anatomical structures, but it can simply aid in the rapid identification of anatomical structures. However, the group referring to 3D atlas showed significantly higher results on the simple questions of the open-book anatomy quiz ( P<0.05). Independent t test between groups did not show statistically significant difference in the results of the Anatomy and Embryology test. An open-book anatomy quiz was also carried out to analyze the correlation between the type of atlas each student refers to and the results of the quiz. The correlation between use of 3D atlas and student's results on the Anatomy and Embryology test was analyzed. This research was targeted at medical students taking the Anatomy and Embryology class in 20, at Ewha Womans University. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impacts of 3D atlas applications on students' understanding of gross anatomy. As tablets and three-dimensional (3D) applications are developed, 3D atlas applications are utilized in learning anatomy by medical students. Medical students have learned the structure of the human body through dissection, lecture, and textbooks.
Gross anatomy has traditionally been the foundation of medical education.
