Question about more MRI/Cross sectional scans:

I see that your sample (pg. 16) has a MRI of the orbit and I was curious if it also include more cross sections of the body, i.e. lower extremity, thorax, etc.

Also, does the neuroanatomy section have actual cross sections as well or mostly just diagrams? Thank you!

What are the size of the cards? I am wondering if they are small enough to carry around or "pocket size"? Also, are most of the cards illustrations or are there any actual photographs? When I was viewing the sample cards the illustrations looked quite blurry, but I'm assuming either it didn't load properly or was coming up weird on my computer?!

how are the cards organized, by system??

Each flash card is 4in X 6in, and would fit easily into your pockets. However, the complete set of nearly 400 cards will not.

In regards to the images, there are a few radiographs, but most of the images are all illustrations taken from our beautiful atlas, Atlas of Anatomy.

(If for whatever reason the PDF appears blurry, please click on this link to view images from our Atlas. The flashcards are miniaturized versions of these illustrations.)

 

[Thieme]

how are the cards organized, by system??

The flashcards are color-coded by section of the body (back, thorax, abdomen & pelvis, upper limb, lower limb, head & neck, neuroanatomy), and each section has roughly 50 labeled images.

Thank you for the clarification. About the website: is the code provided temporary, such as 1 year or is it for permanent access?

Good question. To clarify, all WinkingSkull.com PLUS codes purchased with the Atlas of Anatomy and Anatomy Flash Cards are permanent.

How good is the quality of the flash cards' paper?

I remember buying some flash cards for USMLE Step 1 last year and the quality was 1 notch above newsprint paper. What a waste of money!

The flashcards are printed on a white laminated (glossy) heavy weight card stock – imagine cards that are about 2.5 times the width and stiffness of the best color greeting cards. They have a hole in the left upper corner for putting on the metal ring provided, so that you can take a subset for study wherever you are.

They are printed with as much care as the Atlas and are provided in a very durable box for storage. Inside the box you will find that the cards are divided with tabs by body sections so you can quickly select a section to review.

I think you will be very pleased with how well these are printed and how well they will hold up for your study.

Remember, too, that if you buy the flashcards, you also get access to
WinkingSkull.com. PLUS. See above for more information.

I see that some of the cards have an extra clinical-ish question at the bottom, and some don't. Do you know about what percentage of the cards have that extra question tying the anatomy with the clinical stuff?

[peludoguy]

are the images in these flash cards identical to the ones in the books?

Are the flashcards going to only asking users to identify structures or are there some application questions as well? Thanks!
