The modern imaging atlas is moving beyond print. Interactive digital platforms (e.g., e-Anatomy, IMAIOS, Radiopaedia) offer scrollable cross-sections, searchable labels, and overlay of multiple modalities. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) now allow learners to "walk through" a CT dataset. Artificial intelligence (AI) can auto-segment structures and generate patient-specific atlases from routine scans. The future imaging atlas will be personalized, dynamic, and immersive. Interactive digital platforms (e
