Abstract

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized medical education and clinical practice, introducing significant innovations in anatomical interpretation. This article aimed to analyze the impact of AI on transforming anatomy education and medical practices, focusing on educational and clinical contributions. An integrative review was conducted using databases such as PubMed and SciELO to identify relevant studies published over the past fourteen years. After screening 108 articles, 7 were selected for detailed analysis. The results indicate that AI has enhanced anatomy education through immersive and interactive simulations, overcoming traditional resource limitations. In clinical practice, AI has proven effective in accurate diagnoses, personalized treatments, and real-time monitoring of physiological parameters. It is concluded that AI redefines paradigms in medical education and healthcare delivery, but its implementation requires strategies to ensure equity, data security, and adequate training to maximize its impact.
