How many radiographs are there?

Would this one-month subscription start when the winners are chosen, or could a winner activate it whenever s/he wanted? Also, is there an option of taking the tests untimed?

What texts/atlases does the site reference? Any beyond Thieme? References to descriptive texts like Moore or Gray's for more information would be awesome.

How does this compare with anatomy.tv?

Also, is this more suited for medical students or surgical residents?

 

[Caesar]

Is it only set up for drag/drop labeling or is there an option to write in the answer?

 

[twoinone]

Are the questions simply about asking what each part is or do they include application questions as well. Thanks!

 

[iA-MD2013]

Are the images used the same as that in the Atlas?

 

[abmd]

wow. this program seems really good. can the user choose if they just want to do the test themselves with only one system or can it be randomized?

WinkingSkull.com utilizes images from Thieme's Atlas of Anatomy, and has no plans to expand our image collection to include those from other publishers. However, we feel the quantity and selection of images on WinkingSkull.com are sufficient for studying gross anatomy.

There is currently no option to write in the answer during a test. However, the option to display all the labels at once or one at a time will allow you to differentiate the testing method with each attempt.

 

[Thieme]

Are the images used the same as that in the Atlas?

Yes, all images are taking from our Atlas of Anatomy.

There is currently no 'random' option for tests, but you can navigate between images within any given system.

Anatomy.tv is a site that sells products created from the 3D anatomy developed by Primal Pictures. WinkingSkull is different from Anatomy.tv primarily in that access to WinkingSkull is free. We are not experts in Anatomy.tv content, but according to their website they offer students 12 months of access to Student Interactive Functional Anatomy for $75 online or a DVD of the content for $125. Their content is different in that they appear to have fewer images (about 36 views are listed), but the user can rotate the images. They also feature animations. WinkingSkull is designed for students to access images online only, and Anatomy.tv is designed for download of images. The Anatomy.tv website suggests that these images could be useful in presentations, patient education, and student handouts, which suggests that the site is overall designed with the needs of practicing doctors and faculty in mind. WinkingSkull.com is designed for students and has three levels of access: Free, Plus, and PRO.

- The free version of this website provides access to 232 stunning images.

- When you purchase Atlas of Anatomy or Anatomy Flash Cards: Anatomy on the Go, you gain exclusive access to nearly 450 images from Atlas of Anatomy as well as key muscle fact tables featured in the book. In addition, users gain access to exclusive clinical content. This material includes MRIs, CT scans, and sectional anatomy with explanatory schematics. You may access WinkingSkull.com PLUS by entering the unique code printed beneath the scratch-off panel in your product.

- In the PRO version you subscribe to the site for the length of time that best suits your studying needs. With your subscription, you gain access to more than 1,700 images from Atlas of Anatomy as well as exclusive clinical material from Thieme's radiology publications (MRIs, CT scans, and sectional anatomy with explanatory schematics).

1 month $29.95
3 months $39.95
6 months $59.95
Panic Package $24.00 for 24 hours

Extend any of these packages before your subscription expires, and you will receive a 5% discount. WinkingSkull.com PLUS users receive a 10% discount when they purchase or extend their subscription.

This sounds like a great way to learn neuroanatomy. Especially since there are radiology images too. . .

Understood - but I wasn't asking about images, I asked about references to text. For example, Grant's Dissector provides references to sections of various atlases for further information. Regardless, I wholeheartedly agree that Thieme has the most beautiful illustrations around. I've had my copy of the Atlas since the start of the year. The neurovasculature drawings are leaps and bounds beyond any of the other atlases.
