Interactive Cardiac Surgery

This multimedia DVD-ROM provides a concise compendium of state-of-the-art cardiac surgery. Information covering the whole field of cardiac surgery is presented in a holistic concept: morphology and pathology specimen are displayed together with all types of diagnostic imaging methods, surgical schemes of treatment, and detailed photographic documentation. Electronically structured text is divided into a general part (technique of cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac morphology, surgical approaches etc.) and a special part. The extraordinarily vast visual presentation (1270 pictures and 250 videos) involves illustrations, animated schemes and unique 3D models, diagnostic images of all kinds (ECHO, ECG, X-ray, CT, MRI, SPECT, catheterization), and close-ups from the operative field.
