Critical Tool for Teaching Anatomy Across the Health Sciences Curriculum Cadaver alternative* Remote access: students learn anywhere,

anytime No limit on copyright for educational purposes

– Export images and videos to enhance lectures and syllabi

High level of accuracy and detail good enough for medical students and physicians

Online Study Guide: digests content into a course aimed at allied health and nursing

Question banks for self-testing

*For example in the US 90% of allied health programs do not have access to cadavers – yet, anatomy and bio-mechanics form a core part of curriculum. Estimate for cost of cadaver program run to $1 million!

What Professors Say…“I do not know of another product that offers

this level of detail or interactivity…This is, by far, the best way to deliver

such an extensive compilation of material…

No other format could combine the scans, videos, and models and allow the user so much flexibility.”

Dr Darla R. Smith, University of Texas El Paso College of Nursing & Health Sciences

“Wonderful!! What an exciting way of making anatomy and biomechanics accessible…”

Frank Vossen, Physiotherapy teacher at the Provinciale Hogeschool Limburg, Hasselt, Belgium

without a Netter picture, now every lecture needs a Primal Picture”

Bret M. Ribotsky, DPM, FACFAOM, FACFAS Past President, American College of Foot and Ankle Orthopedics & Medicine

“…The contents are of high quality and I liked the movie display regarding the pre-op planning etc. very much”

Mr. S.S Mohanty, MBBS(Hons), MS(Orth), FRCS(Ed), King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, Bombay, India

“The fact that you can quickly and easily demonstrate the anatomy of pathology to a patient obviously improves their understanding but also in my experience improves their compliance with treatment.”
