Leonardo Da Vinci and medical images

Before there were medical imaging devices, medical images were provided by experts. This is not intended as diagnosis, but rather as education images. Leonardo Da Vinci was one of these experts. Some of his works are part of the Royal Trust Collection. His drawings were so anatomically accurate that nowadays they are being compared to today's medical images. A more detailed text can be found here.




Here are the links of some of his artwork:
