New York/Stuttgart - Thieme Publishers today announced the launch of WinkingSkull.com PLUS , an ancillary component to the internationally recognized anatomy study aid, WinkingSkull.com. While the website remains publicly accessible, PLUS is available exclusively to buyers of Atlas of Anatomy by Anne Gilroy, Brian MacPherson, and Larry Ross.

A practical resource for students, WinkingSkull.com PLUS features additional clinical material including MRIs, CT scans, and sectional anatomy with explanatory schematics.

Each copy of Atlas of Anatomy comes with a unique authorization code that provides access to PLUS’ premium content. After registration, exclusive content is easily located within each region’s chapter. New features include images from Thieme’s highly popular Pocket Atlas of Sectional Anatomy series by Torsten Bert Moeller, MD, and Emil Reif, MD.

The intuitive design of the website facilitates access to any body region of interest. After studying the images, users are able to test their knowledge by dragging and dropping labels onto the anatomical illustrations. The results are immediately available and users have the ability to compare their scores against those of other users.

WinkingSkull.com PLUS builds on the practical scope of Atlas of Anatomy and is designed to help students gain a firmer understanding of human anatomy in a clinical context.
