Before you start
This atlas is for studying. It is not a clinical tool: do not use it for diagnosis or to decide treatment. Parts of the content are produced with AI assistance and checked with a documented process, but it may contain errors.
How the content is made
Method, claim checking, use of artificial intelligence, review status and limits.
In short
Cards are written with the help of artificial intelligence, following the syllabus of a pathology course. Every factual claim is checked against a reference textbook before publication. A card goes online only when it passes every automated check.
How a card is written
- Every disease has one card with 13 fixed sections, always in the same order, plus a quick check.
- The text is original: the reference book is used to check facts and structure, never as text to copy or closely paraphrase. An automated check compares our text with the reference and blocks sentences that are too similar.
- The English version is written first; the Italian one is translated from our English and then edited to read naturally.
- Every sentence that states a fact carries an invisible marker linked to a verification ledger: source, page and result of the check.
- A second agent, which does not see the first one’s reasoning, checks each claim against the reference. Contradicted claims block publication; claims not found in the reference need a second, verified source.
Use of artificial intelligence
Texts, questions and diagrams are produced with the help of AI models and checked with the process above. AI can be wrong, sometimes convincingly so: that is why every card shows its review status.
What the review status means
- AI-generated, not yet reviewed
- The card passed the automated checks and the claim verification, but no human expert has read all of it yet.
- Expert-reviewed
- A qualified person, named on the card, has read and approved it. Only a human reviewer can set this status.
Limits
- The main reference is a 2020 textbook: some classifications may have changed since. Edition-dependent parts are flagged.
- Italian terminology has not yet been checked against an Italian textbook.
- The atlas does not replace lectures, the textbooks adopted by your course, or a teacher’s advice.
