3d Anatomy for Speech Language Pathology

Synopsis

Aimed at speech and language specialists in practice, teaching and training, this electronic resource includes relevant detailed and interactive 3D anatomy views, a comprehensive clinical section and a patient education section. There are 3D models of the head and neck area, with a focus on anatomy most relevant to speech therapists: nasal and oral cavities, pharynx, larynx, respiratory system, ear, facial muscles and nervous system. It also contains 3D animations of movements of the face (such as elevation/depression of the corners of the mouth and opening/closing of the lips), movements of the larynx/pharynx, movements of the TMJ and respiration, as well as fantastic 2D animations covering mechanisms of swallowing, mechanisms of articulation and voice, mechanisms of voice production and actions of the larynx.

Clinical content covers normal function both described and shown visually of mechanisms of swallowing, voice production and articulation, as well as topics such as cleft palate, vocal fold paralysis, spasmodic dysphonia, swallowing problems after stroke and swallowing problems after cancer among many others. The patient education section contains editable and printable sheets which include an appropriate description of the anatomy and nature of the condition.

Notes

Primal Pictures has created the only complete and medically accurate 3D anatomical model of the human body. It is derived from genuine medical scan data that has been interpreted by a team of anatomists and then translated into three-dimensional images by a team of graphics specialists. Models can be rotated and layers of anatomy added or removed. The anatomy visuals are accompanied by three-dimensional animations that demonstrate function, biomechanics and surgical procedures. To supplement the core three-dimensional anatomy data are clinical videos and text written by leading medical specialists. Resources are grouped in the areas of acupuncture, anatomy & physiology, dentistry, detailed human anatomy, functional anatomy, head & neck, pelvic floor, pilates, radiology, real time anatomy, speech language pathology, spine, sports & therapy, surgery, urology. of software is unique because of its accuracy and detail. The resources are available online to subscribers via Athens/Shibboleth login at www.anatomy.tv/ or for sale on DVD-ROM.
