Featuring full color cross-sectional images from The Visible Human Pro ject, this new atlas is co-authored by a radiologist and includes orie ntation drawings with corresponding MRIs and CTs. Thus students can un derstand the relationship between anatomy and how it is represented in these imaging modalities. The text includes 100 full color tissue ima ges, 200 line drawings, and 200 magnetic resonance and computed tomogr aphy images. Images are labeled with numbers; the key is on a separate two-page spread to facilitate self-testing.

The highly anticipated 4th edition of this classic reference is even more relevant and accessible for daily practice. A sure grasp of cross sectional anatomy is essential for accurate radiologic interpretation, and this atlas provides exactly the information needed in a practical, quick reference format. Color-coded labels for nerves, vessels, muscles, bone tendons, and ligaments facilitate accurate identification of key anatomic structures. Carefully labeled MRIs for all body parts, as well as schematic diagrams and concise statements, clarify correlations between bones and tissues. CT scans for selected body parts enhance anatomic visualization. More than 2,300 state-of-the-art images can be viewed in three standard planes: axial, coronal, and sagittal.

The second of a two volume set which describes the anatomical details visualized in diagnostic tomography. As a comprehensive reference, it is an aid when interpreting images: anatomic structures presented in representative cross-sectional CT & MRI images; schematic drawings of the highest didactic quality are clearly juxtaposed with the CT & MRI images; anatomic structures or functional units are color-coded in the drawings to facilitate identification.

Atlas of Human Cross-Sectional Anatomy Third Edition Donald R. Cahill, Ph.D., Matthew J. Orland, M.D., and Gary M. Miller, M.D. Since its first publication a decade ago, Atlas of Human Cross-Sectional Anatomy has become a standard reference for the interpretation of sectional images obtained with either computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Now, this Third Edition has been substantially expanded and updated, offering entirely new sections on the major joints, as well as dozens of new images of the head obtained with the latest MR technology. This atlas presents detailed illustrations of anatomical cross-sections-- meticulously drawn and labeled-- that are matched with high-quality CT or MR images or actual photographs of cadaver sections. Orientation diagrams appear on the corner of every page and show precisely where the slice was taken as well as the direction from which the slice is being viewed. The book covers the entire body, featuring: * Transverse sections of the thorax, abdomen, and male and female pelves * Multiple views of the limbs * Sagittal, coronal, and angled orbitomeatal views of the head and neck * The spine in sagittal and axial planes * The knee and shoulder shown both coronally and sagittally Revised to reflect emerging trends in the medical imaging field as well as the latest advances in technology, Atlas of Human Cross-Sectional Anatomy, Third Edition is an important resource for anatomists, radiologists, and all practitioners who utilize CT or MR images. From reviews of the Second Edition: "Overall, the images are of a high quality in a field (particularly MRI) which is evolving continuously."-- European Journal of Nuclear Medicine "Highly recommended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of anatomy and for all medical libraries."-- Choice "The large, lucid pictures have labels that are extremely well done. The authors have skillfully used sufficient labels to identify all important structures yet few enough to avoid confusion and clutter."-- Mayo Clinic Proceedings "Overall, this is an excellent atlas, a useful resource for the general radiologist and resident in training."-- Radiology
