Anatomy CDs
Primal 3D Interactive Series - Complete Human Anatomy

Available for loan on 9 CD-ROMs covering:
* Hand * Pelvis & Perineum * Head & Neck * Shoulder * Hip * Spine * Foot & Ankle * Thorax & Abdomen * Knee

"These are a great set of CD ROMs that are now available in the library. They are divided into anatomical areas and allow you to show anatomical features in layers. Each anatomical area can show bone, ligaments, muscles, nerves and blood supply and relationship between these structures. The programme allows you to slowly dissect or build up the layer of overlying structures to give you a greater understanding of the orientation of tissues without the use of a cadaver and scalpel!! They are fantastic for case presentation, teaching tools and patient education, and can be used from student to Consultant level alike."
Elaine Alderton, Joint Physiotherapy Manager, BNHFT
