CUTTING-EDGE SOFTWARE LETS YOU EXAMINE
EVERY BONE IN THE HUMAN BODY
East Dorset,
VT. December 4, 2002- Now
you can navigate the world’s most complete 3D skeleton from your
computer. The award-winning software program Interactive
Skeleton, created with cutting-edge technology, makes learning
about the musculo-skeletal system a lively enterprise.
High school and medical school students alike will enjoy
finding their way around the bones of the human body by clicking
on easy-to-use navigation controls. Hundreds of study notes, clinical notes, and
professor’s tips accompany each impressive image. There is even a Spanish
edition of the program.
An entire skeleton was scanned using a Computerized
Tomography scanner at University College London, and with the resulting
images, a 3D model was constructed and incorporated into this software. To explore the skeleton, users simply select
which area they would like to examine first, then click on any bone
or muscle attachment to read its label, as well as descriptions
of its location, function, common injuries, and more.
Interactive Skeleton has been linked to
new curriculum drawn up by the American Association of Clinical
Anatomists, and provides expert information about anatomical features. Click on the blue question mark to hear a clinical
question posing a hypothetical problem that may affect a patient. Read about “Maxillary sinusitis” and tibia
fractures. Examine three
x-ray images of a simple right tibial break in a 21 year-old man.
Zoom in to get a closer view, or click the blue arrows
to scrutinize an image from any angle.
Select various parts of the skull, for example, to read about
the occipital bone, parietal bone, temporal bone, ethmoid bone,
sphenoid bone, and maxilla. What
is exactly is the “soft spot” on an infant’s head?
The clinical notes will explain.
In addition to the highest quality imagery and text, Interactive
Skeleton includes many sound clips, dissection images, and radiographs
to elucidate anatomical structures.
The program also includes a customizable quiz module
that lets you choose from three levels of difficulty, select the
region of the skeleton you would like to focus on, and set the number
of questions and question type.
The skull wearing a graduation cap lets you know right away
whether you’ve answered correctly, and if you haven’t, gives you
more chances. It’s easy
to spend hours honing up on your knowledge of anatomy or studying
for exams with this software.
And it’s easy to see why Interactive
Skeleton won the International Media in Science 1st
Prize and the British Medical Association Electronic Product Gold
Award. Software programs like this one are rare specimens.
