Pictures.
Primal Pictures is one of the most interesting visual
databases that CSU has. Primal pictures gives clear and detailed 3D pictures of
the human body that can be rotated with various layers added and removed as
required. Each bodily unit is stripped bare and the user selects different
layers to build up to a complete “whole”. What makes Primal Pictures even more
useful is the ability to zoom in and out, take screen shots and download
individualised images to your own computer to create your own visual library.
Anatomical details can be labelled, bones, muscles, ligaments, nerves,
arteries, veins, organs, skin other parts included or excluded with one mouse
click. Depending on the Primal Pictures database selected users can also
additionally view slides, videos, animations and MRI scans.
