- a comprehensive examination section comprises all elements of the abdominal examination including extra- and intra-abdominal organs
- accompanying explanations and illustrations for all the major abnormal signs in the examination
- interactive on screen elements and high quality animation specifically designed for this App, for example: how to check for shifting dullness; examine for spider naevi; examine inguinal hernias and much more...
- high quality photography of the examination steps
- videos of key examination steps including examination of the liver, spleen, kidneys and more...
- accompanying text for each section which can be copied onto the clipboard and integrated into your own notes
