Interactive Shoulder, 2009 Release, features detailed computer graphic models of the human shoulder joint and girdle. With an updated interface that is more user-friendly and intuitive and allows the images to be viewed much larger, the 2009 release is the ultimate educational tool for those requiring an understanding of shoulder structure and function.

Using this DVD-ROM as a visual aid will assist anyone in learning the fine points of the human knee. 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 shoulder 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. Clicking on specific structures displays the related text and links to additional images, video clips, labeled dissections, illustrations, and clinical slides. Users will also find an MRI section showcasing scans in the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes—with the corresponding portion of the 3D model split into 20 corresponding slices.

As a bonus, Primal teamed up with Johns Hopkins University to create a remarkable series of biomechanical animations for this software program. The animations show the relative bone positions during typical joint motions of the shoulder.

Providing quick access to highly detailed 3D anatomy, cross-sectional anatomy, and MRI views, this software offers users realistic views into the human anatomy. With Interactive Shoulder, 2009 Release, those in the medical and exercise science fields will be able to learn the intricacies of this anatomical region with ease.
