Interactive Knee – DVD or online by Primal Pictures shows the knee at various depths in various types of images such as 3d Model Mode; Topic Mode with views for Anatomy, Surgery, Biomechanics & Radiology; and MRI Mode; rotate at any point and peel away layers of anatomy from skin through to bone. Clicking on any features or structures within the model brings up extensive anatomy, clinical and pathology text supported by hundreds of color diagrams, videos and slides such as a video which shows a doctor conducting a McMurray’s test. The view or video is on the left side of the screen with corresponding text on the subject, on the right. Everything is interactive and changes to correlate with the word you click on. This is a fabulous program for the medical professional or personal injury attorney. I highly recommend this software. Primal Pictures, Ltd can be reached at 1-800-716-2475.
