if all these kinds of images were combined into one virtual 3D image, if at all possible, that would be wonderful.

A great idea from Bryan Alvarez: It would be great if the data collected from routine surgeries like this could be uploaded into the atlas anonymously. It would help fill it up very quickly!

a useful blog and a great article showing googles commitment to improving health

free open life sciences resources designed to spread knowledge of life sciences using new mediums.

This is written by the SVP of Scitable, Vikram Savkar. Seems like an amazing guy. http://www.scienceprogress.org/2010/05/invest-in-teaching/ Nice find, by the way.
