I am a nursing student and am always in need of medical images suitable for public displays. If they were free, I would use between 20-30 images from the [SMART Imagebase] per year. Jennifer Fosse

The Nucleus medical images are very clear and beautiful. If they were free, I would use about 40 of them in my lectures to students. Moshe Shachar

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 I had full access to the images on your web site, I would integrate your illustrations and animations into lectures given to medical students and residents. In particular, the animation of vaginal delivery on your website would be an excellent teaching tool, allowing students to visualize the birth process well. Jessica Bienstock, MD, MPH

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

I am studying my course via correspondence, therefore I would use the [SMART Imagebase] images to further my understanding of descriptions in my study books. I would also use them in my assignments to demonstrate how bones should appear & compare to bones with certain diseases, ie osteoporosis. One can learn much faster by using clear images to further understanding. Kimberley Butler

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

If the Nucleus medical images were free, I would use approximately 10 per year for class discussions and everyone would have a leaflet to look at and reflect on. Claire Buick

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

Nucleus has excellent medical diagrams that allow certain techniques and pathologies to be easily understood by lay people. I would use 10-50 medical images per year for Power-point presentations for educational purposes only. Adam Brett
