Professor Walter Thiels brilliant photographs are unique. They revolutionise macroscopic surgery because - due to a new preservation technique developed by the author himself - all tissues retain their living colour, consistency and position. This new technique, Thiels exceptional abilities as a photographer and the filigree dissections add up to vivid, almost artistic illustrations of astonishing depth and clarity. Apart from the topographical anatomy of the abdomen and lower extremities, Part I illustrates the most important punctures of joints and many surgical approaches. Thus this atlas is not only of interest to anatomists and pathologists but particularly to surgeons and orthopaedic surgeons - in fact all doctors requiring a 3D presentation of human anatomy.

This Color Atlas of Anatomy features full-color photographs of actual cadaver dissections, with accompanying schematic drawings and diagnostic images. The photographs depict anatomic structures with a realism unmatched by illustrations in traditional atlases and show students specimens as they will appear in the dissection lab. Chapters are organized by region in order of standard dissection, with structures presented both in a systemic manner, from deep to surface, and in a regional manner. This edition has additional clinical imaging, including MRIs, CTs, and endoscopic techniques. New graphics include clinically relevant nerve and vessel varieties and antagonistic muscle functions. Many older images have been replaced with new, high-resolution images. Black-and-white dissection photographs have been replaced with color photography. A companion website will include an Image Bank, interactive software (similar to an Interactive Atlas), and full text online.

Walter Thiel's brilliant photographs are unique. They revolutionize macroscopic anatomy because - due to a new preservation technique developed by the author himself - all tissues retain their living color, consistency and position. For the first time anatomical sites show the real color and form of human organs as well as their true positions. Thiel's new technique, his exceptional abilities as a photographer and the filigree dissections add up to vivid, almost artistic illustrations of great depth and clarity. Apart from the topographical anatomy of the upper part of the human body, Part II illustrates the most important punctures of joints and some surgical approaches. Thus this atlas is not only of interest to anatomists and pathologists but particularly to those working in surgical professions.

Featuring outstanding full-color photographs of actual cadaver dissections with accompanying schematic drawings and diagnostic images, Anatomy: a photographic atlas depicts anatomic structures more realistically than illustrations in traditional atlases. Chapters are organized by region in the order of a typical dissection with each chapter presenting topographical anatomical structures in a systemic manner.

This book is meant for the study of the human surface anatomy. The book contains detailed photographs of the surface muscular system of the entire body. To further illustrate the images there is a sketch connected to each photograph. The book is both a user-friendly encyclopedia and a serious textbook, aimed at people with an interest in the human surface anatomy: its location and action. Especially students of physical therapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, relaxation and phychomotoric therapy, physical education and sports medicine, will find valuable support and inspiration to help learning about the human surface anatomy and muscle action. But also students who through their education qualify to teach and instruct in strength exercises, such as fitness instructors and personal trainers, will benefit greatly from this book. The section with strength training exercises is easily accessible and all exercises can be performed with very simple equipment. Regardless of your level of fitness, everybody will be able to find inspiration for strength training and exercises that can be trained at home. One of the key thoughts of this book is to link theory and practice and thus enabling the reader to turn the theoretical knowledge of human surface anatomy into practice by means of muscle testing, localization and training exercises. The book is a beautiful and user-friendly reference book, and will appeal to anyone with an interest in human anatomy and muscle training, or simply for sharing in the fascination of the human body. "Practical Surface Anatomy - a functional atlas of images" was written, photographed and illustrated by some of the best in their respective fields in Denmark.

For 2-semester A&P lab course and 1-semester human anatomy lab course A Photographic Atlas for Anatomy & Physiology is a new visual lab study tool that helps students learn and identify key anatomical structures. Featuring photos from Practice Anatomy Lab (TM) 3.1 and other sources, the Atlas includes over 250 cadaver dissection photos, histology photomicrographs, and cat dissection photos plus over 50 photos of anatomical models from leading manufacturers such as 3B Scientific(R), SOMSO(R), and Denoyer-Geppert Science Company. Two-page spreads with cadaver and anatomical model photos side-by-side help students to better learn and identify structures. The Atlas is composed of 13 chapters, organized by body system, and includes a final chapter with cat dissection photos. In each chapter, students will first explore gross anatomy, as seen on cadavers and anatomical models, and then conclude with relevant histological images.
