This program presents a realistic skeleton system from a compilation of imaging scans. Users can view the 3-D replica from all angles, with or without labeling, and at different labels of labeling. Pan, tilt, and zoom controls allow the user to move around to any part of the skeleton; audio feedback is available throughout the program. Muscle and tendon attachments can be highlighted. Clinical notes highlight points of clinical relevance.

The world's first complete 3D digital skeleton. Every bone can be viewed in 3D and labeled from any point of view. All landmarks and muscle attachments can appear as 3D areas on the relevant image at the click of a mouse. The content, however, includes not just bones but a range of dissection images, radiographs and text covering major anatomical features. For medical students, nurses, paramedics, high school biology students - anyone studying anatomy - the CD ROM can act as a replacement for a real skeleton specimen, at a fraction of the price, but with so much more information at your fingertips. The Student Edition contains the full 3D model, all accompanying images (such as dissections) and the complete text. The Professional Edition also provides a powerful software suite for teachers to design their own courses around the content, build customised quizzes, grade students' answers electronically, and print out high resolution images for overhead projection, etc. The CD ROM has won the British Medical Association Prize for Best Electronic Product and the International Media in Science Prize.

This is a new edition of a highly successful product previously published by Mosby. The additions for version 2 include:

• full left and right hand skeletal anatomy;
• comprehensive digitised dissections, now labeled with every feature;
• hundreds of study tips and questions linked to the core
• anatomy curriculum used in medical schools and colleges and drawn up by the American Association of Clinical Anatomists;
• new easy-to-use interface and a faster access time to imagery.

The product has been so successful that a consumer and general interest version of this CD ROM has even been produced, called The Ultimate 3D Skeleton (Dorting Kindersley 1996).

Readership: Medical and allied health students, anatomy studies, anatomy and biology teachers, high school biology majors and high school science teachers.
(The Standard Edition used to be called the "Student Edition and was produced in 1998 under ISSBN 1902470001. The Standard Edition is the same software as the Student Edition. Only the packaging is different; in box format, instead of a jewel case.)
