Top Tip: Primal Pictures vs Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a quick and easy place to learn more about a subject. However, anyone can write and edit Wikipedia articles. So although Wikipedia can be good for increasing your knowledge and understanding of a subject, it shouldn’t be taken as fact or used as a reference in assignments.

If you want scientific and medical information that has been written and reviewed by experts, use Primal Pictures. 

Primal Pictures' award-winning multi-media software is unique because of its accuracy and detail derived from genuine medical scan data that has been interpreted by a team of qualified anatomists and then translated into 3D images by an expert team of graphics specialists. Anatomy visuals are accompanied by 3D animations that demonstrate function, biomechanics and surgical procedures. In addition, the core 3D anatomy data are supplemented by clinical videos and text written by some of the worlds leading medical specialists.
