The teaching of human anatomy has traditionally relied on cadaver dissection and textbook-based learning. However, the rapid development of digital technologies has significantly transformed medical education. This study investigates the impact of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and three-dimensional (3D) visualization tools into the teaching of human anatomy for medical students. The research evaluates how these technologies influence students’ understanding of complex anatomical structures and spatial relationships. A comparative analysis was conducted among medical students who studied anatomy using traditional methods and those who used AI-assisted 3D learning platforms. The results demonstrate that students exposed to digital anatomical tools showed significantly improved comprehension, retention of knowledge, and engagement during the learning process. The findings highlight the potential of AI-based educational technologies to enhance the effectiveness of anatomy education in modern medical universities.
