Anatomy TV (from Primal Pictures) - Training

Training: Anatomy TV (from Primal Pictures) - teaching tool

Trainer: resource developers, Primal Pictures

Date: Thursday, November 11^th

Time: 2:00pm

Venue: North Training Room

The session will be aimed at academic staff. If you could like to attend, please contact Arlene Healy

Description:

New Library subscription: Anatomy TV

This teaching tool provides medically accurate 3D models of the human anatomy. The representation of the body is derived from medical scan data that has been interpreted by a team of Primal anatomists and then translated into three-dimensional images by graphics specialists. The anatomy visuals are accompanied by 3D animations that demonstrate function, biomechanics and surgical procedures. The resource also provides clinical videos and text to supplement the core anatomy data.

You can access Anatomy TV from the New Resources section of the Library database webpage. There's also a “How To” guide .

TCD Library’s 12 month subscription provides access to the Anatomy Plus Platinum Package, including the Dentistry module, ensuring this valuable teaching tool benefits as many academic departments as possible.

We aim to assess usage levels and relevancy to TCD academic programmes prior to a renewal of the subscription in late 2011.
