Human anatomy is one of the main subjects of the training curricula in the health area. The techniques used for teaching are mainly based on cadaveric dissection and use of synthetic pieces, presenting limitations and requiring new approaches. The production of biomodels using 3D technology is an innovative tool to be incorporated into pedagogical practices. Photogrammetry emerges as a method that develops three-dimensional digital models through a computational algorithm that receives photos of a particular object. The present work aims to demonstrate the applicability of photogrammetry in teaching human anatomy. This is a descriptive study of an integrative literature review, carried out with searches in the PubMed, LILACS, SciELO and Academic Google databases, using the Health Sciences Descriptors “photogrammetry”, “anatomy”, “three-dimensional image”. Photogrammetry reveals application in the study of various body structures, such as organs, vessels, cavities, musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Professors and students who have contact with technology report incomparable advantages and the possibility of understanding the anatomy in a detailed, precise, accessible, and interactive way. Scientific productions are still precarious on the subject, but photogrammetry certainly has the potential to create institutional collections of 3D digital anatomy, preserving specimens permanently for continuous use.
