"I am an honor student, and have presented several of my papers on my school campus, in the community, and also at national conventions. In our program we are responsible for presenting several oral presentations in class and two major presentations for the campus community. If the Nucleus images were free, I would use approximately 10 of them to help my audience visualize a procedure, an illness or an injury. A picture is worth a thousand words, and in the health field, it is always better to have picture when you are lecturing. The quality of the images is better than some of the pictures in my text books. They really help to describe and explain what the procedure entails."

"Because the Nucleus medical images are very clear and useful, I would like to use them in the inside of a one-page patient-education tri-fold brochure I am making for a class."

"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."

"In one short month I will be a high school biology teacher. If the Nucleus medical images were free, I would use about 50 per year as visuals in my class. Students learn science better when they are able to visualize the processes."

"I am a senior at ODU's School of Nursing and will carry on for my Masters in Nursing. I have a slide show presentation due tomorrow so this would be a great addition to it. Aside from Nucleus, there are no educational sites that have quality images on the net which are easy to use, download, and present. Nursing students are constantly trying to find innovative ways to produce presentations at home to present their patients or subject material."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
