The Future is Happening at Mosby, Today.

Laser videodiscs can change the way you practice and learn about your profession.

From the files of leading medical

authorities, comes the new

lmageDisc™ Ubrary - videodiscs

that can give you instant access to

thousands of important medical

images. With the swipe of a

barcode reader pen, you'll be able

to access the work of leading

physicians and prestigious

institutions from around the world.

You've never seen anything

like this ...

Each disc contains outstanding

examples of slides,

photomicrographs and

radiographs - up to 54,000

images. Each image has been

carefully produced with better

gray scale and sharper edge

definition than you've ever seen

before. All you need is a video

monitor, a laserdisc player and

barcode pen and these amazingly

affordable discs can open a new

world for your research, study,

and practice of cardiology. 30A
