Software
Primal Pictures – Software that specializes in 3-D computer graphics of human anatomy with color graphics that are remarkable for their clarity and precision. I just received the Interactive Knee which is absolutely amazing. It 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. There are movies such as one which shows a doctor conducting a McMurray’s test. The view or movie 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 profession or the personal injury attorney. While it would be interesting for a lay person with a knee injury, it is easier to use with a basic understanding of the knee and would require the lay person to spend some time learning. I highly recommend this software. Primal Pictures, Ltd can be reached at 1-800-716-2475.
