Yottalook Anatomy: New Changes & Tips

This past month, we have been continuing to improve the current beta Yottalook Anatomy engine. You can access this engine either in our Yottalook Labs or directly by typing in http://anatomy.yottalook.com.

One of the common search queries for radiologists is related to anatomy. This engine was designed to provide anatomy-related information. Below is a set of revised refinements.

The engine will return results first from various online atlases. Hence, if search for "knee" and then select the "AP/PA" refinement, you will get a result that would show you a labeled radiograph image of a frontal view of the knee. By default, the online atlas results will show up first.

However, some of you may be looking for radiology journal articles on anatomy. Then, you can try to refine your search further by selecting "Search Radiology Journals >>". For example, type in "deep transverse metatarsal ligament" and then select "Search Radiology Journals >>" and then click on "Images Only" to get a drawing of it in a radiology journal.

Or, if you are just looking for detailed anatomy information from a classic anatomy textbook like Gray's Anatomy, simply click on "Search Gray's Anatomy".

Give it a try today and give us feedback on how to improve this engine.

Yottalook Anatomy - Revised Refinements

Today, we are releasing new refinements for the Yottalook Anatomy search engine (www.yottalook.com/labs/yottalook_anat.html). First, you will notice a new refinement called, "Atlas >>". Selection of this "label" will direct the user to another set of label hierarchy, which includes modality and axis plane. What's the purpose? One of the original purposes of creating a radiology-centric anatomy search engine was to serve as a source of various online atlases. We wanted to separate out the atlases from other anatomy-related sites and journal articles. Now, selection of "Atlas >>" will only link you to online atlases. For example, type in "knee" and do a search. Then, click on "Atlas >>". Once you have been directed to the next level of labels, select "AP/PA" and click on any of the returned results.

In addition, similar to the current refinements in the Yottalook References engine, you will find "Google Scholar" and "Not enough results?" labels, which will search through Google Scholar and the entire web, respectively. Also, similar to the current References engine, we have implemented a checkbox option for returning only articles in PDF format.
