What People Say
About Anatomy.tv


Susan B. Warner, MLS
Covenant Medical Library
I am quite pleased to comment on the StatRef and AnatomyTV [Primal Pictures] products. We have a diploma school of nursing as part of our health system. These two products are used heavily by our students. Also, staff nurses and others are using these products. Ali Abbass is a great rep, easy to contact and work with. There have been no problems here with access or down time. In the first month, the StatRef book on fluids and electrolytes had 78 hits. This was before some orientations were even complete. I certainly hope to add to our StatRef products for our next budget year.
Dr Peter Belafsky
There is a digital healthcare revolution underway that is fundamentally changing the way medical information is shared, presented and used by physicians, educators and students. At the heart of this revolution is Primal Pictures, the World’s First Complete 3D Model of Human Anatomy.
Nicholas Parany
Massage Australia
My suggestion is if you want to present your clinic or services as being progressive and professional then this is the product for you. This is truly an exceptional new program and is highly recommended as both a reference and an educational resource for anyone dealing with human anatomy.
Dr S.C van Bokhoven
Musculoskeletal Radiologist, The Netherlands
The 3D real-time viewer I was pleased to use is AMAZING!! It's so easy to use and so beautiful. My colleagues were completely surprised by the astonishing quality and simplicity in which it is to use. As a radiologist we use images all day, every day. Your images are THE images to use in presentations or just for anatomic correlation during evaluation of scans.
K. Flies, Ph. D., Biology Instructor
Central Community College of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA
Primal Pictures has succeeded in developing an online Anatomy and Physiology course in which the material is broken up into modules with impressive 3D images that can be rotated at will. Modules allow students to easily locate and review specific topics and include a lengthy quiz module. Quiz questions follow various formats and provide students with immediate feedback.
Mrunalini Vikram Pattarkine, Ph D., Associate Professor
Biotechnology; Coordinator, Biotechnology - University of Science and Technology, Harrisburg, USA
I find the tool helpful since it is loaded with great illustrations; the layer-by-layer illustrations make a great learning tool for students to know the location, components and relationships between the components for a system. There are some great animations for some of the processes. Altogether, this is a great tool to help students in Biology fields learn about the basics of Anatomy and Physiology. At the same time, this is also a tool that can cater to students who are in field of medicine. This program allows the instructor and students to customize the information suited for their individual needs.
David Kent
International Instructor of Human Anatomy and Manual Therapy
The Primal Head and Neck software demonstrates structures and movements that were previously difficult to visualize with beautifully designed interactive graphics which has definitely taken anatomical education and presentation to the next level.
Lisa, Department Head
Dental Hygiene Program, Community College
Anatomy.tv is a great tool for our dental hygiene students to study head and neck anatomy. It is especially useful for our online students who don't have the benefit of visual learning in the onsite classroom setting. Head and neck anatomy – bones, muscles, nerves, arteries, etc are tough to visualize and this tool definitely aids the visual learner. I like the layering capability to allow students to study and review selected areas and then 'put it all together' for an overall impression. Another good piece of teaching technology to place in our toolkit. Thanks!
R. Armstrong, MD
You will not find a comparable degree of versatility, depth, richness of content or pure good looks.
Gina, Nursing Student
Colby Sawyer College
Anatomy.tv is a great resource during A&P I and II. Especially for visual learners, it is a great tool to be used as an additional technique to study for exams.
Melanie Belliveau, Library Technician
Health Information Network Calgary, Rockyview Hospital Knowledge Centre
We've had Anatomy.tv for a while now and every time I use it I am amazed by how detailed it is. One of my favorite features is the ability in the MRI area to click on a structure and have it highlighted on the actual MRI. I also love the videos, especially the shoulder rotation one.
Diane Primavera
Catskill Regional Medical Center
Really exciting - haven't had this kind of interactive fun since playing "Operation" as a kid. I could see this as useful aid in student presentations, called my co-workers in to try it out as well and everyone including sonographer, mammo tech, OB/GYN, and LPN studying to become RN loved it.
