Ovid, part of Wolters Kluwer Health, US, has announced that it is adding new modules to its suite of 3D interactive human anatomy offerings from Primal Pictures, a producer of multimedia products for teaching human anatomy. Human Anatomy: Systemic Edition, 3D Head & Neck Anatomy for Dentistry and a Spanish-language version of Essential Regional Anatomy are now available via OvidSP, the company's precision search and discovery platform. Cost-effective packages of multiple modules are also now available to Ovid's global customer base.
Targeted at institutions such as nursing schools and allied health programmes that teach human anatomy as a series of bodily systems, Human Anatomy: Systemic Edition consists of 15 distinct modules, such as Skeletal System, Muscular System and Cardiovascular System. Combined, they include more than 300 anatomical views and 4,000 anatomical structures supplemented by descriptive text, a study guide and quiz section.
Designed for dentists in training or practice, 3D Head & Neck Anatomy for Dentistry is authored by leading specialists in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. It includes more than 100 three-dimensional views of the head, neck, face, oral and nasal cavities, dentition, individual teeth in 3D and cross section, nerves, larynx and pharynx, sinuses, eye and brain. Users can click on any structure to view related text, as well as dissections, clinical slides, annotated illustrations, video clips, and functional anatomy animations which they can rotate and add/ remove layers.
Fundamentos de Anatomia Humana en 3D (Essential Regional Anatomy) takes a regional approach to the study and teaching of anatomy: nine views focus on a specific body region, such as head & neck, shoulder, spine, and knee. Similar to the English and French versions of this product, users can strip away layers of bone, muscle, and ligaments, and rotate anatomy models on screen.
The products are created by a team of expert anatomists and graphic artists who interpret actual medical scan and dissection data, and then construct images using advanced imaging techniques. All modules are designed to graphically illustrate structural anatomical relationships, functions and biomechanics, and deliver a variety of features and interactive functionality. Depending on the module, users can rotate anatomical models as much as 360 degrees and strip away different layers of each anatomical region or organ. Assessment and treatment videos, MRI slices, pathology slides and clinical descriptions may also be included.
