The Nucleus database contains a vast range of images that have great clarity - ideal for use at undergraduate level. They would form an ideal compliment to written work. If they were free, I would use 20 images per year in projects such as a current poster presentation on Hydrocephalus, previous case studies (including kidney conditions and cervical spine) and in anatomy and pathology essays. Christine Hood

The images that I have seen are better than most sites. The animations are wonderful as well. I especially like the animations of the stages of labor. If the images were free, I would use 5-10 them for study or for educational PowerPoint presentations for school. Greg Gatchell

The pictures are clear especially those concerned with skeletal anatomy. I would use 50 or more per year for presentations and educating patients. Karim Ghaiss

The Nucleus images are highly valuable in that they not only give you unique views of bones, arteries, veins, nerves and their relationships but also, very vividly, provide graphics with fractures or clinical complications that are common in the field. This is very valuable since most textbooks or atlases only show graphics of the body in perfect condition. If these images were free, I would use 15 per year in PowerPoint presentations for case studies presented in Gross Anatomy class, Physiology, Embroylogy, etc. for the Doctorate in Dentistry program and in Medical school. Jorge Rojas, Student

For our AP and soft tissue classes we have to study bones and muscles and each student is required to make themselves muscle cards to study from which are also graded. I found it difficult to locate many individual muscles through traditional resources, so it would be so great to have a database of images to access to help us put our cards together. Good images are hard to find, and not everyone has the resources that some of us have available to them. If these images were free, I would use up to 120 per year for my classes. Lisa Cote

If the Nucleus medical images were free, I would use 2-5 per year for assigned presentations or projects presented to peers in a classroom setting. Diagrams, photographs, and other visuals always enhance a presentation and promote better understanding of the topic, disorder, or information being given. Kathleen Burns

The detail provided by these images and the way in which the images are clearly presented make them excellent for presentation purposes. These images also make it easy to break a potentially difficult subject down and make it more manageable. I would love to use about 50 of the images per year in poster presentations. Human anatomy/physiology often gets monotonous and boring, but when students have to undertake visual presentation projects and bring a particular topic alive it really stimulates the mind, makes the educational trip fun and more importantly we end up with a far greater depth of learning than we would have done just straight from the book. If we were asked to research more topics ourselves, with the help of your images we could display and present topics making them far more approachable and fun. Patrice Power

Images such as those on the Nucleus Medical Art web site are not readily available online or through other sources. If they were free to use, I would use about 10 each year in news stories televised on campus. Brad Driver

Your images provide detailed pictures of many surgical procedures. If they were free, I would use 3-5 in a speech for class to represent a procedure. Amanda Edwards

The images on the [SMART Imagebase] are so detailed and the information associated with them is the most updated that I have found on the web. If they were free, I would use about 10 of them per year for periodic class reports and research projects. Angela Vela
