CD-Rom Rheumatology: Single User MAC

This CD-ROM contains all the text and illustrations from the parent text "Rheumatology". It integrates basic science and clinical medicine, with an emphasis on medical practice and the diagnosis and management of rheumatic diseases. All major musculoskeletal disorders, including regional pain and bone disease are covered. "Practical Problem" sections discuss solutions to difficult case studies. The CD-ROM contains a comprehensive index, as well as an index of photographs. It uses imperial and SI units. Users do not have to be experienced computer users, as the disk contains tutorials which provide all the information necessary to use the disk effectively. The interactive format incorporates rapid routing by use of "location maps", which enable the user to identify a particular section of the disk. The user can view illustrations in full or can zoom in for a close-up of a particular part of the image. The user can highlight or add information to any illustration or part of the text. Once it has served its purpose the additional information can be saved or deleted. The user can call up around 20 images at a time for viewing on a split screen.
Having made a selection of images from this array, the user can then call them up individually for full screen scrutiny. The text is scrolled through a pre-set window on the screen which is positioned next to the image it describes. The text, like the images, can be reviewed at speed. CD-ROM images can also be projected for lecture and presentation purposes: the disk contains a Lecture Compilation tool which allows the user to create lectures/presentations based on disk images and text.
