  - Netter's Interactive AtlasThe setup and layout of the atlas is fairly intuitive and easy to maneuver. One beneficial aspect of the atlas was that one can bookmark certain slides and labels to return to and study further. However, it would have been helpful if the layers of muscle were somehow illustrated or assembled such that each successive layer could be examined or studied. Rating:  - Asolutely excellent!This interactive atlas is an absolute must have. The pictures are excellent quality and you can test your knowledge with the interactive interface. Don't bother buying the book atlas when this software is available. I owe my terrific grade in medical school anatomy to this software. Rating: - Excellent searchable atlasExcellent searchable atlas. Grant's atlas also provides an online version but search function is not as complete, often it cant find some of the structures. The computer version is very useful to look things up when preparing for lectures and exams. Rating: - no problem with mineIt is only accessible through your cd-rom, unless you know how to create an iso, and then run the iso using a program such as daemon tools, but i had no problem with my cd-rom. it did not run constantly, only when you were searching etc. Excellent pictures, easy to use. Rating: - Far better than the bookThis is an excellent piece of software. If I'm near a computer, I do not use my paper version of Netter's Atlas at all. Here is why: 1) Searchable Index. Need to find a particular structure fast? Just type in the word, and all entries will come up in a list. If you click on the entry in the list, it will display the plate with the structure's name and pointer highlighted. (This feature alone is worth the purchase price.) No more flipping back and forth between the index and the plates. 2) You can remove labels entirely or expose labels on rollover. Memorize without having to physically cover anything up. 3) Click on a caption to highlight its pointer. No more following thin lines to the drawings. 4) Create custom study guides. It's as if you cut out the pages you need for a certain section, and covered up all the labels you don't care about. 5) Custom made tests. You can select slides of your choice, and only certain labels on those slides, and create a multiple choice test (name -> structure) or (structure -> name) It is true that the program spins the CD-ROM drive on every operation. This can wear the drive out. However, there is a simple solution to this. Make an ISO image of the CD and mount it as a drive. It is roundabout, but it works. And as a bonus, the program runs much faster. So I advise anyone who has not yet bought the paper atlas and who likes studying at the computer to buy this software. |
