Users can review, print, edit and export images into different presentation programs.  Included in this version are images from the 5th edition of Netter’s Atlas of Human Anatomy.

Netter Presenter can be accessed through the library’s catalog and from the database section of the UT Health Science Center Libraries Web site. Remote access is available for UT Health Science Center students, faculty, and staff.
