The UWA Library has recently subscribed to a unique visual anatomy database.
The UWA Library has recently subscribed to the new Primal Pictures database. Primal Pictures is quite unique in that images are derived from real medical scan and dissection data interpreted by a team of staff anatomists, and constructed using advanced imaging by an in-house team of graphics specialists. Over 5,000 3D anatomical structures, clinical slides, dissections, animations and much more are available. This interactive resource comprises more than 20 learning and teaching modules covering basic human anatomy and focusing on one or more areas of the body. Also included are a study guide, test bank, and an optional test management system to build custom quizzes for students.
Each module features three-dimensional animations that show function, biomechanics, and surgical procedures. Clinical videos and textual descriptions by some of the leading specialists in their fields supplement the animations and the models.
This database is now available from the Library website. Simply search for the title Primal Pictures in the Library Catalogue and link through to the online resource.
