Introducing UAnatomy.com – A New Era of Inclusive and Global Anatomy Visuals

The field of medical and scientific illustration just received a transformative update with the launch of uAnatomy.com, a pioneering online platform offering a fresh perspective on anatomy posters. Created by the acclaimed team behind Medical-Artist.com, and us here at The Medical Stock Images Company, this new site reimagines how human and animal anatomy and disease are visually represented with a special focus on inclusivity, accessibility, and global health equity.

More Than Just Posters

uAnatomy sets itself apart by bridging the gap between classical anatomical education and modern global health awareness as well as covering scientific subjects and animal anatomy. At its heart is a collection of beautifully illustrated anatomical posters that reflect not just textbook accuracy, but also the lived realities of underrepresented human conditions and communities.

While traditional anatomical art often focuses on standard systems and Western clinical norms, uAnatomy boldly steps into new territory including medical imagery on skin related Neglected Tropical Diseases (skin NTDs). This includes visual explorations of conditions such as Buruli ulcer, Yaws, Loiasis, with onchocerciasis, and cutaneous leishmaniasis to follow. These are diseases affecting millions, yet almost invisible in most anatomy learning resources.

These illustrations are not only technically precise, but also designed to spark awareness and empathy. They present disease as it appears on the skin in realistic environments, a much-needed shift toward contextualised, globally-relevant medical imagery.

Human and Animal Anatomy

Who Is This For?

The uAnatomy platform is designed to serve a wide and diverse user base:

• Students in Medicine and Allied Health: Visually engaging, high-detail posters to support study, revision, and clinical understanding.
• Public and Global Health Educators: Resources that address overlooked diseases, useful for training in both academic and field settings.
• Clinicians and Humanitarian Workers: Visual tools to assist with staff education, outreach, and community health literacy.
• Universities and Research Institutions: A valuable addition to anatomy and pathology teaching resources.
• Hospitals and Medical Offices: Printed versions serve as both reference material and powerful, educational wall art.
• Veterinary: A range of animal anatomy and scientific subject matter for clinics and waiting rooms.

Authored by a Leading Medical Artist

Every illustration on uAnatomy and The Medical Stock Images Company is created by Dr. Joanna Butler, a highly regarded medical illustrator with a background in both scientific research and creative communication. Her detailed, thoughtful approach ensures that each poster delivers both academic accuracy and visual impact. With years of experience creating bespoke imagery for publishers and organisations, Dr. Butler brings her expertise to a broader audience through this available to all inspired platform.

Designed for Diversity

From its very name "uAnatomy", a play on “You Anatomy” the project embraces the idea that anatomical education should be for everyone. The posters reflect a wide range of body types, skin tones, and clinical contexts, allowing learners from all backgrounds to see themselves represented in the materials they study.

This focus on inclusivity goes hand-in-hand with the site’s mission to decentralise medical imagery and open up conversations around global health, skin disease, and neglected conditions.

What’s Next?

uAnatomy is just getting started. New poster sets are in development, including multilingual editions, region-specific collections, and custom visuals for educators and NGOs. The team welcomes collaboration and feedback to ensure the platform continues to meet the evolving needs of medical learners and health professionals around the world.
