Netter's Anatomy Atlas Makes Debut for iPad Users
PHILADELPHIA, September 21, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
iPads in Dissection Labs and Lecture Halls are Increasingly Common
Sights in Medical Schools as Students Begin Their Fall Semesters
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical
information products and services, announced today the Netter's Anatomy
Atlas App for iPad is now available on the App Store. Based on the
world-renowned medical artwork of Dr. Frank H. Netter, full-color anatomic
illustrations allow users to personalize their atlas of over 500 illustrated
plates so that they can focus on the need-to-know anatomy specific to a
course or area of specialty and interest.
"Imagine carrying an interactive authoritative guide on human anatomy
wherever you go that allows you to study, quiz yourself and take notes on
the fly!" said John T. Hansen, PhD, Associate Dean and Professor at the
University of Rochester Medical Center and lead Editor of the Netter Atlas
of Human Anatomy, 5th edition. "No one does it better than Netter and his
brilliant color illustrations literally 'jump' off the iPad screen with a
luminescence that is unsurpassed. Test drive this App and you'll open a
whole new world of anatomical knowledge with just the tap or swipe of your
finger tip."
Features of the App include:
- The ability to tap Muscle Info buttons to review
attachments, innervations, actions, and blood supply;
- Label quizzes to test memory of terminology;
- A set of 50 anatomy questions from USMLEConsult.com to help prep
for boards;
- Customization of individual labels with on, off, and highlight
settings;
- "My Netter" bookmark and notes to organize and personalize
studies;
- Enhanced suite of quizzing and customization features to create
an intuitive study guide;
- Quick navigation of the illustration database by Searching
(keyword or plate number), Browsing by Region or System, or Jumping to
Related Plates to see alternate views.
"Elsevier is committed to supporting healthcare students and
professionals by providing new, convenient and innovative ways to learn,
review and practice medicine," said Randy Charles the Managing Director of
the Global Clinical Reference Group at Elsevier. "This exciting new Netter
app is rooted in our deep customer insight research. The ability to access
these world-famous Netter images in a non-linear fashion in the app, and to
customize the user experience of the images, are aspects of functionality
with strong market demand. "
