Interactive Spine, Clinical Edition, features detailed computer graphic models of the entire vertebral column and spinal cord. This visual tool is essential in the explanations and treatments for spinal injuries. 3D models include all individual anatomical features of the entire vertebral column - choose views of the entire spine or focus on the vertebral column, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, sacral spine, spinal cord or surface features and bone regions. With an updated interface that is more user-friendly and intuitive and allows the images to be viewed much larger, this is the ultimate educational tool for those requiring an understanding of spine structure and function.
Using this DVD-ROM as a visual aid will assist anyone in learning the fine points of the human spine. The software will allow you to do the following:
- Understand and explain injuries, conditions, and treatments more effectively.
- Save time looking for images for presentations or patient education handouts with hundreds of stunning images and detailed information at your fingertips.
- Export images and video clips with ease.
Each model of the spine is fully interactive, allowing 360-degree rotation, the ability to add and remove layers of anatomy from skin to bone, and the option to label any item. Models can be viewed from numerous perspectives. Clicking on specific structures displays the related text and links to additional images, video clips, labeled dissections, and numerous diagrams and annotated illustrations.
Users will also find unique sections in this software. A biomechanics section includes text and animations of the alar ligament and coupled motion to provide a better understanding of the spine’s functionality within the human anatomy. A clinical topics section features hundreds of clinical slides and information covering inflammatory diseases, tumors, deformities, trauma, degenerative diseases, and metabolic diseases. An MRI section showcases MR scans in the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes—with the corresponding portion of the 3D model—both split into 20 corresponding slices.
Interactive Spine, Clinical Edition, is a vital resource for teachers, students, and professionals in the exercise science and medical fields. This program gives users a realistic view of the spine and how every part moves and functions. It is an essential tool for teaching and learning the intricacies in the human spine.
