FROM THE PUBLISHER
In January 1997, a historic event within the pharmaceutical industry took place,
when Ciba-Geigy Corporation merged with Sandoz Pharmaceuticals to form Novar-
tis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. In this merger, Ciba Medical Education became
Novartis Medical Education. Although our name has changed, our prime objective
remains the same: to provide high-quality, relevant educational resources for the
medical community.
The Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy is our first release under the Novartis
name. This work is actually our response to recommendations we received from
you, our associates. When we published the Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy in
August 1995, we achieved a milestone of our own. The Interactive Atlas was our
first entry into the field of interactive medical education, and it was well received,
indeed, hugely successful. Students, instructors, and practitioners alike gave this
work high marks. Soon after its release, the Interactive Atlas, like its parent soft-
cover anatomy book, became the favorite of students of anatomy everywhere.
But the Interactive Atlas seemed to have whetted the appetite for more. We
received many requests for an electronic atlas that would include imaging data and
clinical material to complement the anatomical plates. And so, drawing from our
extensive archive of medical art published over the years in The Ciba Collection of
Medical Illustrations and Clinical Symposia, and from noteworthy outside sources,
we developed the Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy, replete with visualizations of
the human body in various media, concise explanatory texts, and meaningful
educational features. You asked for a practical, useful atlas of clinical anatomy,
and we responded.
It is not possible to describe the enormous amount of work involved in putting
together a program of this complexity. We are grateful for the efforts of many
dedicated people: the tireless, extraordinary Dr. Arthur F. Dalley II, at Creighton Uni-
versity; Dr. J. Hurley Myers and his team at DxR Development Group, Inc.;
and the Clinical Atlas team at Novartis, all of whom accepted nothing but the best,
especially from themselves.
We hope our new electronic atlas fulfills your expectations. We welcome your
comments and suggestions as we continue our long-term commitment to
medical education.

Preface ii
PREFACE
As with the initial Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy, it was once again a pleasure
to work with Dr. Arthur Dalley, the editors of Novartis Medical Education, and the devel-
opment team of the DxR Group to create what is sure to be a significant addition to
the teaching and learning of human anatomy. To create this new program, we reached
deep into the vaults at Novartis to find Netter illustrations that provide important corre-
lations to many of the anatomical plates used in the Interactive Atlas. In addition, Dr.
Michael Williamson provided the majority of the relevant radiographs, and Novartis
commissioned their current artists to create key cross sections, which complement
the data we have included from the Visible Human Project™. The result is a new work,
with thousands of illustrations, enhanced with explanatory texts written by Dr. Dalley to
explain the relationship between anatomical and correlating clinical images.
As we developed the Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy, we discovered that with
additional information and features comes a greater need to understand how to use,
organize, and manage the learning material. To aid with this task, we have provided
three avenues of assistance. The narrated tutorials give an overview of important user
features and show how they function. The Help section, available from every screen in
the program, deals concisely and immediately with “how-to” issues related to the spe-
cific features of the Atlas. Finally, this manual contains a quick-reference glossary of the
key features of the Clinical Atlas with only the briefest explanation of how they work.
The Clinical Atlas has some special features for students, such as spoken labels and
a Study Guide that allows for individual customization. In addition, there are a couple of
“teacher features” that make the Clinical Atlas an important adjunct to anatomy educa-
tion. The classroom teacher who gives slide presentations using Netter illustrations
will appreciate the Create-A-Show feature. Now you can export illustrations from the
Clinical Atlas directly into the Create-a-Show application where you can organize,
modify, enhance, and supplement the imported images using a built-in paint utility.
Moreover, you will be able to import electronic images from other sources into Create-
A-Show, so you can go to class with one file containing your electronic lecture edited
and organized the way you want to present it. Many instructors use Netter illustrations
to evaluate a student’s knowledge of anatomy. The Exam Record Utility provides an
easy way to review and evaluate the results of large classes of anatomy students—it
is the teacher’s best friend.
We encourage you to explore these features and the enormous amount of anatomi-
cal material in the Clinical Atlas to discover how it works best for you. As always, we
welcome your reactions to our programs as we strive to develop powerful and practi-
cal tools to enhance your study and teaching of medical science.

Foreword
FOREWORD
The anatomical illustrations of Frank H. Netter, M.D., have been used extensively
in medical and health sciences education for decades but were not readily available
to students until 1989, when Dr. Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy was published.
Almost immediately, the Atlas became the top-selling anatomical atlas in the world,
and clearly has become the students’ choice. The clinical, functional, and procedur-
al artwork by Dr. Netter has also appeared over the years. There is hardly a clinical
course, continuing education event, or health professional association meeting
today that does not include these illustrations, yet these, too, have had limited
availability to students. I am very excited to play a part in bringing more Netter art-
work—and new artwork in the Netter style—to today’s students of medicine and
all the health sciences.
Recent years have seen a revolution in the health sciences curricula, once
clearly divided into basic science and clinical components. Clinical application has
become increasingly integrated into the teaching of the basic sciences, and vice
versa, making learning of the basics more acceptable, efficient, and even exciting
when its relevance and application can be appreciated. Similarly, recent dramatic
developments in medical imaging have made the demonstration of internal
anatomy—in the living patient—both increasingly routine and important in diag-
nosis and treatment. A natural integration of gross and radiologic anatomy has
resulted from this. Parallel developments in technology have also added new
options and approaches to the way that information can be presented and learned.
Thus, the time is right for introduction of a teaching and learning instrument that
combines all of these things: a clinically oriented, interactive atlas of human gross
and radiologic anatomy on CD-ROM.
Along with these new developments, anatomical terminology has changed.
Internationally, Latin and Greek anatomical terms have been replaced with Anglicized
forms, in both common usage and scholarly endeavors. The Interactive Atlas of
Clinical Anatomy incorporates the most up-to-date standard for anatomical terminol-
ogy. Because this terminology is an international standard, and because the Atlas
is utilized around the world, the “spoken labels,” although not likely to be an essen-
tial feature for all, will prove to be worthwhile for many.
An additional motivation for me in this project was a wish to design a practical
anatomical reference that extended far beyond first-year courses in terms of informa-
tion and utility—a work relevant and useful during the clinical years as well as in prac-
tice, making it an investment for a career, not just for a course. In preparing the
Clinical Atlas, I always kept in mind that it would be used by many students training
for professions other than medicine. The Clinical Atlas thus includes features and
ACL guide WORKING.hpc copy 4/23/98 11:47 AM Page iii
Foreword iv
information useful for any student requiring anatomical knowledge, in fields such as
dentistry, radiographic technology, and many other areas of conventional or alterna-
tive health care. In addition, several features have been added to make this
program worthwhile to educators as well as to their students.
While the great majority of what is offered by this work can truly be described
as state-of-the-art, there are a few procedures and techniques included which have
obviously been superseded by new technology. However, new technologies are not
universally available; some of the older techniques remain as standard procedure in
some locations. Further, with an increasing population of senior citizens, there is a
need to have awareness of procedures patients have previously experienced. All
the procedures included represent innovative application of anatomical knowledge.
This program is not intended to teach proficiency or the ability to employ any of the
techniques or procedures described; its purpose is only to illustrate the clinical
application of anatomical knowledge.
I sincerely appreciate the efforts of all who contributed to the development of
this work. I am especially grateful to our spouses, children, and significant others
for their faith in our vision, made evident in their tremendous encouragement
and patience.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THIS PROGRAM
In preparing the Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy, we sorted through thou-
sands of images to select visual material that best exemplified the clinical contexts
for the basic gross anatomy as presented in the Atlas of Human Anatomy. We
designed the program’s features to give users the most efficient tools for exploring
these clinical and anatomical relationships.
Users who are familiar with the Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy will find
much in common with that program. The key utilities that were essential in the
Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy—an ability to organize and manage the
information contained in the program (the List Manager), a way to facilitate the
learning process (the Study Guide), and a vehicle for testing oneself and others
(the Tests)—are present in this new, more complex program and, in some cases,
have been improved.
Following is a synopsis of the main features of the Clinical Atlas program that will
be of interest to students, instructors, and medical professionals.
STUDENTS
Students can derive both short-term and long-term benefits from this program.
Of immediate value is that it helps you pass your exams, and, more lastingly, you
gain an understanding of the relevance of basic knowledge to clinical medicine, a
firm foundation for a career in medicine.
Practice Tests
It’s no secret that students are motivated by a desire to pass exams. This need
at least partially accounts for the great popularity of the print and electronic ver-
sions of the Atlas of Human Anatomy. No artist captured the clinical story better
than Dr. Netter, and, therefore, the Clinical Atlas should be equally helpful to you in
preparing for exam questions that test your knowledge not only of anatomy but
also of its clinical meaning.
The Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy includes a Practice Test feature that
allows you, whenever you are viewing a plate, to test your knowledge quickly by
locating the point corresponding to the “test question” label. The Practice Test
option can give you hints and show you the right answer.
Although the Custom Exam feature was essentially designed for instructors,
students can also use it to create different types of practice tests simulating the
real tests they will be taking. The Locate Structures format is basically the same as
the Practice Test, but, using the custom feature, you can choose to test yourself

ACL guide WORKING.hpc copy 4/23/98 11:47 AM Page 2
3
on any structures you are having difficulty learning. The Name Structures format is
particularly useful if you want to learn to spell the anatomical terms correctly, since
this format requires you to type in the correct answer. In real testing, your instruc-
tor may decide that spelling counts, so you’ll want to be prepared.
Pronunciation of Terms
We added an audio feature that allows you to hear any of the anatomical
labels pronounced. You can click on most anatomical labels to hear the spoken
pronunciation.
Anatomy in a Clinical Setting
The convenience of having a wealth of interrelated clinical material within one
anatomy resource is just as valuable to time-pressed students as to instructors.
Students who are seeking the greater wisdom that comes from recognizing the
clinical significance of basic anatomy will be able to enrich their own learning expe-
rience by investigating all of the clinical material that is linked and cross-referenced
in this program.
INSTRUCTORS
Integrated Approach
The Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy embodies the approach that instructors
in the medical sciences have told us they want to see in educational materials
today: basic knowledge presented in the context of practical applications. We
chose material which best illustrates a clinical problem that a study of the anatomy
helps to clarify.
We know that students will see many conditions in their patient encounters that
are the result of disruption or dysfunction of the underlying anatomy. Having the
clinical problem closely associated with the basic anatomy in the learning process
helps students remember the basic anatomy more readily and use it more effec-
tively in their diagnostic reasoning. By experiencing this integrated approach to the
study of anatomy, they will begin to practice a fundamental problem-solving strate-
gy that all medical professionals employ: the use of basic knowledge to help solve
clinical problems. This approach to the teaching of anatomy also helps students
answer, for themselves, the question they all ask, implicitly or explicitly: Why do I
have to know this?

Compare Screens
Because we linked, or “correlated,”
all of the clinical material with its
anatomical counterparts, instructors
can easily reinforce the integrated
approach to learning by using the
Clinical Atlas program in the class-
room. You can discuss a specific
anatomical illustration with the stu-
dents and then immediately show
them correlated images with associated text that are of importance to healthcare
professionals. The “compare” screens let you show this material side by side and
easily refer to each component as often as necessary. For example, you can first
show a full-screen image of the bronchial tree of the lungs and then, using the com-
pare screen, show a bronchogram. The Clinical Atlas program compiles a signifi-
cant amount of supplementary material in one convenient place.
Study Guide and Plate Notes
You can direct students’ learning by preparing Study Guide plates; that is, elimi-
nating all but the labels and points that are especially important for them to know
and loading these as a special file.
You can further guide students by attaching special text or audio notes to plates,
in order to record additional observations or highlight the salient points.
Tests
Instructors will particularly like the testing features. In addition to the simple
Practice Test option, there are the more controlled Custom Exam selections. With
these, you can click specific labels on many different plates to create a test, or
write related questions and then require the students to select one or more points
on an illustration to answer the question.
Create-A-Show
Create-A-Show allows you to create customized lectures by exporting Clinical
Atlas plates to this application, where you can modify the graphics and text. You
can also import your own graphics to personalize your presentation.

MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
Quick Reference
The Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy is an up-to-date reference for practicing
professionals who may want to refresh their knowledge from time to time.
Staff Training
The same features that make the program ideal for teaching students in the
classroom—for example, the side-by-side “compare” screens showing normal
anatomy and medical imaging views or clinical procedures—make this program
useful for staff training and for patient education.
Patient Education
Patient education is an important—and time-consuming—part of any clinical
practice. The Clinical Atlas screens can be printed out with or without labels and
handed to patients for their reference. Practitioners find this a useful and
timesaving program feature. Moreover, they can use the List Manager function to
prepare their own personal collections of images for use with the various types of
patients they see in their practice.

WHAT THIS PROGRAM CONTAINS
VISUAL CONTENT
Visual Index
Thumbnail-size pictures of all the images in the program, organized by
the type of plate (see next items). Go directly to a plate by double-click-
ing its thumbnail picture.
Atlas Plates
All 525 plates (translating into 930 screens) of normal anatomy from
the Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy.
Cross Sections
183 cross-sectional illustrations.
Correlations
532 plates, derived from The Ciba Collection of Medical Illustrations
and Clinical Symposia, plus a variety of radiographic images.
Each plate “correlates” with one or more Atlas plates (or, in some cases, anoth-
er correlation), and can be shown side-by-side with it on a “compare screen.”
Each correlate plate has a brief explanatory text.
Seven types of correlations:
Clinical Imaging* Procedural Anatomical
Functional Developmental Histological
*Imaging correlations are also grouped as a separate collection called Imaging
(see next item).
Imaging
222 radiographs, CT scans, MRIs, 3-D CTs, and other types of
diagnostic images; organized by body region. Brief text for each.
Visible Human
21 interactive movies based on the National Library of Medicine’s Visual
Human™ data set. See sections of male body and the female pelvis* in
axial, sagittal, and coronal planes. For key frames of the Visible Male, overlay a
correlating CT scan and cross-sectional illustration.
*When Version 1.0 of the Clinical Atlas was being prepared, only the male portion
of the database was available. Now, although the female database is complete, the
space limitations of the CD-ROM do not permit us to include both sets of complete
data. We have, therefore, retained the complete set of images for the male, which
contains all the essential normal human data, and completed the human database
with the female pelvis and perineum.

  • 6. From the Publisher i FROM THE PUBLISHER In January 1997, a historic event within the pharmaceutical industry took place, when Ciba-Geigy Corporation merged with Sandoz Pharmaceuticals to form Novar- tis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. In this merger, Ciba Medical Education became Novartis Medical Education. Although our name has changed, our prime objective remains the same: to provide high-quality, relevant educational resources for the medical community. The Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy is our first release under the Novartis name. This work is actually our response to recommendations we received from you, our associates. When we published the Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy in August 1995, we achieved a milestone of our own. The Interactive Atlas was our first entry into the field of interactive medical education, and it was well received, indeed, hugely successful. Students, instructors, and practitioners alike gave this work high marks. Soon after its release, the Interactive Atlas, like its parent soft- cover anatomy book, became the favorite of students of anatomy everywhere. But the Interactive Atlas seemed to have whetted the appetite for more. We received many requests for an electronic atlas that would include imaging data and clinical material to complement the anatomical plates. And so, drawing from our extensive archive of medical art published over the years in The Ciba Collection of Medical Illustrations and Clinical Symposia, and from noteworthy outside sources, we developed the Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy, replete with visualizations of the human body in various media, concise explanatory texts, and meaningful educational features. You asked for a practical, useful atlas of clinical anatomy, and we responded. It is not possible to describe the enormous amount of work involved in putting together a program of this complexity. We are grateful for the efforts of many dedicated people: the tireless, extraordinary Dr. Arthur F. Dalley II, at Creighton Uni- versity; Dr. J. Hurley Myers and his team at DxR Development Group, Inc.; and the Clinical Atlas team at Novartis, all of whom accepted nothing but the best, especially from themselves. We hope our new electronic atlas fulfills your expectations. We welcome your comments and suggestions as we continue our long-term commitment to medical education.

  • 7. Preface ii PREFACE As with the initial Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy, it was once again a pleasure to work with Dr. Arthur Dalley, the editors of Novartis Medical Education, and the devel- opment team of the DxR Group to create what is sure to be a significant addition to the teaching and learning of human anatomy. To create this new program, we reached deep into the vaults at Novartis to find Netter illustrations that provide important corre- lations to many of the anatomical plates used in the Interactive Atlas. In addition, Dr. Michael Williamson provided the majority of the relevant radiographs, and Novartis commissioned their current artists to create key cross sections, which complement the data we have included from the Visible Human Project™. The result is a new work, with thousands of illustrations, enhanced with explanatory texts written by Dr. Dalley to explain the relationship between anatomical and correlating clinical images. As we developed the Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy, we discovered that with additional information and features comes a greater need to understand how to use, organize, and manage the learning material. To aid with this task, we have provided three avenues of assistance. The narrated tutorials give an overview of important user features and show how they function. The Help section, available from every screen in the program, deals concisely and immediately with “how-to” issues related to the spe- cific features of the Atlas. Finally, this manual contains a quick-reference glossary of the key features of the Clinical Atlas with only the briefest explanation of how they work. The Clinical Atlas has some special features for students, such as spoken labels and a Study Guide that allows for individual customization. In addition, there are a couple of “teacher features” that make the Clinical Atlas an important adjunct to anatomy educa- tion. The classroom teacher who gives slide presentations using Netter illustrations will appreciate the Create-A-Show feature. Now you can export illustrations from the Clinical Atlas directly into the Create-a-Show application where you can organize, modify, enhance, and supplement the imported images using a built-in paint utility. Moreover, you will be able to import electronic images from other sources into Create- A-Show, so you can go to class with one file containing your electronic lecture edited and organized the way you want to present it. Many instructors use Netter illustrations to evaluate a student’s knowledge of anatomy. The Exam Record Utility provides an easy way to review and evaluate the results of large classes of anatomy students—it is the teacher’s best friend. We encourage you to explore these features and the enormous amount of anatomi- cal material in the Clinical Atlas to discover how it works best for you. As always, we welcome your reactions to our programs as we strive to develop powerful and practi- cal tools to enhance your study and teaching of medical science. J. Hurley Myers, Ph.D. Professor of Physiology and Internal Medicine ACL guide WORKING.hpc copy 4/23/98 11:47 AM Page ii
  • 8. iii Foreword FOREWORD The anatomical illustrations of Frank H. Netter, M.D., have been used extensively in medical and health sciences education for decades but were not readily available to students until 1989, when Dr. Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy was published. Almost immediately, the Atlas became the top-selling anatomical atlas in the world, and clearly has become the students’ choice. The clinical, functional, and procedur- al artwork by Dr. Netter has also appeared over the years. There is hardly a clinical course, continuing education event, or health professional association meeting today that does not include these illustrations, yet these, too, have had limited availability to students. I am very excited to play a part in bringing more Netter art- work—and new artwork in the Netter style—to today’s students of medicine and all the health sciences. Recent years have seen a revolution in the health sciences curricula, once clearly divided into basic science and clinical components. Clinical application has become increasingly integrated into the teaching of the basic sciences, and vice versa, making learning of the basics more acceptable, efficient, and even exciting when its relevance and application can be appreciated. Similarly, recent dramatic developments in medical imaging have made the demonstration of internal anatomy—in the living patient—both increasingly routine and important in diag- nosis and treatment. A natural integration of gross and radiologic anatomy has resulted from this. Parallel developments in technology have also added new options and approaches to the way that information can be presented and learned. Thus, the time is right for introduction of a teaching and learning instrument that combines all of these things: a clinically oriented, interactive atlas of human gross and radiologic anatomy on CD-ROM. Along with these new developments, anatomical terminology has changed. Internationally, Latin and Greek anatomical terms have been replaced with Anglicized forms, in both common usage and scholarly endeavors. The Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy incorporates the most up-to-date standard for anatomical terminol- ogy. Because this terminology is an international standard, and because the Atlas is utilized around the world, the “spoken labels,” although not likely to be an essen- tial feature for all, will prove to be worthwhile for many. An additional motivation for me in this project was a wish to design a practical anatomical reference that extended far beyond first-year courses in terms of informa- tion and utility—a work relevant and useful during the clinical years as well as in prac- tice, making it an investment for a career, not just for a course. In preparing the Clinical Atlas, I always kept in mind that it would be used by many students training for professions other than medicine. The Clinical Atlas thus includes features and ACL guide WORKING.hpc copy 4/23/98 11:47 AM Page iii
  • 9. Foreword iv information useful for any student requiring anatomical knowledge, in fields such as dentistry, radiographic technology, and many other areas of conventional or alterna- tive health care. In addition, several features have been added to make this program worthwhile to educators as well as to their students. While the great majority of what is offered by this work can truly be described as state-of-the-art, there are a few procedures and techniques included which have obviously been superseded by new technology. However, new technologies are not universally available; some of the older techniques remain as standard procedure in some locations. Further, with an increasing population of senior citizens, there is a need to have awareness of procedures patients have previously experienced. All the procedures included represent innovative application of anatomical knowledge. This program is not intended to teach proficiency or the ability to employ any of the techniques or procedures described; its purpose is only to illustrate the clinical application of anatomical knowledge. I sincerely appreciate the efforts of all who contributed to the development of this work. I am especially grateful to our spouses, children, and significant others for their faith in our vision, made evident in their tremendous encouragement and patience. Arthur F. Dalley II, Ph.D. Clinical Anatomist ACL guide WORKING.hpc copy 4/23/98 11:47 AM Page iv
  • 10. 1 HOW TO FIND HELP IN THIS PROGRAM We have provided several avenues for obtaining help in using this program. MANUAL This manual gives you a handy reference describing the visual contents of the program and the navigational and educational features (the main “buttons”). In addi- tion, you can learn how to make the most of this program by reading the special section addressing students, instructors, and medical professionals. TUTORIALS Seeing a demonstration is often an easier way to learn than reading a set of instructions. We have provided five tutorials for you to watch: Getting Started, List Manager, Study Guide, Tests, and Create-A-Show. You can stop and start these tutorials anytime you want, and you can replay the parts you want to review. We suggest that you take advantage of the Getting Started tutorial, which will give you a good overview of the entire program. ON-LINE HELP The on-line help defines all buttons, icons, and menu items and also provides step-by-step instructions for a multitude of tasks related to the features of the pro- gram. Together with the tutorials, the on-line help should provide all the assistance you will need to use the program effectively. HOTLINE Help is available from DxR Development Group, Inc.: Phone: (800) 453-8040 or (618) 453-1140, between 9:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. central time, Monday through Friday Fax: (618) 453-5309 E-mail: Support@dxrgroup.com For more information about medical education software from Novartis, visit our Web site at www.meded.pharma.us.novartis.com How to Find Help in This Program ACL guide WORKING.hpc copy 4/23/98 11:47 AM Page 1
  • 11. 2 HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THIS PROGRAM In preparing the Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy, we sorted through thou- sands of images to select visual material that best exemplified the clinical contexts for the basic gross anatomy as presented in the Atlas of Human Anatomy. We designed the program’s features to give users the most efficient tools for exploring these clinical and anatomical relationships. Users who are familiar with the Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy will find much in common with that program. The key utilities that were essential in the Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy—an ability to organize and manage the information contained in the program (the List Manager), a way to facilitate the learning process (the Study Guide), and a vehicle for testing oneself and others (the Tests)—are present in this new, more complex program and, in some cases, have been improved. Following is a synopsis of the main features of the Clinical Atlas program that will be of interest to students, instructors, and medical professionals. STUDENTS Students can derive both short-term and long-term benefits from this program. Of immediate value is that it helps you pass your exams, and, more lastingly, you gain an understanding of the relevance of basic knowledge to clinical medicine, a firm foundation for a career in medicine. Practice Tests It’s no secret that students are motivated by a desire to pass exams. This need at least partially accounts for the great popularity of the print and electronic ver- sions of the Atlas of Human Anatomy. No artist captured the clinical story better than Dr. Netter, and, therefore, the Clinical Atlas should be equally helpful to you in preparing for exam questions that test your knowledge not only of anatomy but also of its clinical meaning. The Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy includes a Practice Test feature that allows you, whenever you are viewing a plate, to test your knowledge quickly by locating the point corresponding to the “test question” label. The Practice Test option can give you hints and show you the right answer. Although the Custom Exam feature was essentially designed for instructors, students can also use it to create different types of practice tests simulating the real tests they will be taking. The Locate Structures format is basically the same as the Practice Test, but, using the custom feature, you can choose to test yourself How to Make the Most of This Program ACL guide WORKING.hpc copy 4/23/98 11:47 AM Page 2
  • 12. 3 on any structures you are having difficulty learning. The Name Structures format is particularly useful if you want to learn to spell the anatomical terms correctly, since this format requires you to type in the correct answer. In real testing, your instruc- tor may decide that spelling counts, so you’ll want to be prepared. Pronunciation of Terms We added an audio feature that allows you to hear any of the anatomical labels pronounced. You can click on most anatomical labels to hear the spoken pronunciation. Anatomy in a Clinical Setting The convenience of having a wealth of interrelated clinical material within one anatomy resource is just as valuable to time-pressed students as to instructors. Students who are seeking the greater wisdom that comes from recognizing the clinical significance of basic anatomy will be able to enrich their own learning expe- rience by investigating all of the clinical material that is linked and cross-referenced in this program. INSTRUCTORS Integrated Approach The Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy embodies the approach that instructors in the medical sciences have told us they want to see in educational materials today: basic knowledge presented in the context of practical applications. We chose material which best illustrates a clinical problem that a study of the anatomy helps to clarify. We know that students will see many conditions in their patient encounters that are the result of disruption or dysfunction of the underlying anatomy. Having the clinical problem closely associated with the basic anatomy in the learning process helps students remember the basic anatomy more readily and use it more effec- tively in their diagnostic reasoning. By experiencing this integrated approach to the study of anatomy, they will begin to practice a fundamental problem-solving strate- gy that all medical professionals employ: the use of basic knowledge to help solve clinical problems. This approach to the teaching of anatomy also helps students answer, for themselves, the question they all ask, implicitly or explicitly: Why do I have to know this?

  • 13. 4 Compare Screens Because we linked, or “correlated,” all of the clinical material with its anatomical counterparts, instructors can easily reinforce the integrated approach to learning by using the Clinical Atlas program in the class- room. You can discuss a specific anatomical illustration with the stu- dents and then immediately show them correlated images with associated text that are of importance to healthcare professionals. The “compare” screens let you show this material side by side and easily refer to each component as often as necessary. For example, you can first show a full-screen image of the bronchial tree of the lungs and then, using the com- pare screen, show a bronchogram. The Clinical Atlas program compiles a signifi- cant amount of supplementary material in one convenient place. Study Guide and Plate Notes You can direct students’ learning by preparing Study Guide plates; that is, elimi- nating all but the labels and points that are especially important for them to know and loading these as a special file. You can further guide students by attaching special text or audio notes to plates, in order to record additional observations or highlight the salient points. Tests Instructors will particularly like the testing features. In addition to the simple Practice Test option, there are the more controlled Custom Exam selections. With these, you can click specific labels on many different plates to create a test, or write related questions and then require the students to select one or more points on an illustration to answer the question. Create-A-Show Create-A-Show allows you to create customized lectures by exporting Clinical Atlas plates to this application, where you can modify the graphics and text. You can also import your own graphics to personalize your presentation. How to Make the Most of This Program ACL guide WORKING.hpc copy 4/23/98 11:47 AM Page 4
  • 14. 5 MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS Quick Reference The Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy is an up-to-date reference for practicing professionals who may want to refresh their knowledge from time to time. Staff Training The same features that make the program ideal for teaching students in the classroom—for example, the side-by-side “compare” screens showing normal anatomy and medical imaging views or clinical procedures—make this program useful for staff training and for patient education. Patient Education Patient education is an important—and time-consuming—part of any clinical practice. The Clinical Atlas screens can be printed out with or without labels and handed to patients for their reference. Practitioners find this a useful and timesaving program feature. Moreover, they can use the List Manager function to prepare their own personal collections of images for use with the various types of patients they see in their practice.

For key frames of the Visible Male, overlay a correlating CT scan and cross-sectional illustration. *When Version 1.0 of the Clinical Atlas was being prepared, only the male portion of the database was available. Now, although the female database is complete, the space limitations of the CD-ROM do not permit us to include both sets of complete data. We have, therefore, retained the complete set of images for the male, which contains all the essential normal human data, and completed the human database with the female pelvis and perineum.
