The use of multimedia tools for learning anatomy has been widely accepted in recent years. They have developed as a result of technological progress and the need to adapt the new organization of the theoretical and practical teaching of Anatomy. The anatomy software has been widely used, but few data has been obtained in relation to improving knowledge of the student's anatomy. In the present work we develop an interactive software for the study of osteology and radiological anatomy with connections to the surface anatomy, the muscular system, arthrology and pathology. In addition, we incorporate an autoevaluation system for the student. We use this new multimedia tool in teaching of the anatomy for medical student. After a specific training to the use of the software, we demonstrated a significant improve in the knowledge of different groups of students in relation to the recovery of anatomical structures, interpretation of the radiological images and correlation of anatomy to pathological findings. Therefore, the development of our new computer application improves knowledge of anatomy and suggests that software in this field should be stimulated as a complementary element of the study of this discipline.
