A concise, superbly illustrated textbook that brings together a reliable, clear and up to date guide to surface anatomy and its underlying gross anatomy, combined with a practical application of ultrasound and other imaging modalities. A thorough understanding of surface anatomy remains a critical part of clinical practice, but with improved imaging technology, portable ultrasound is also fast becoming integral to routine clinical examination and effective diagnosis. This unique new text combines these two essential approaches to effectively understanding clinical anatomy and reflects latest approaches within modern medical curricula. It is tailored specifically to the needs of medical students and doctors in training and will also prove invaluable to the wide range of allied health students and professionals who need a clear understanding of visible and palpable anatomy combined with anatomy as seen on ultrasound. - Concise text and high quality illustrations, photographs, CT, MRI and ultrasound scans provide a clear, integrated understanding of the anatomical basis for modern clinical practice - Highly accessible and at a level appropriate for medical students and a wide range of allied health students and professionals - Reflects current curriculum trend of heavily utilizing living anatomy and ultrasound to learn anatomy - An international advisory panel appointed to add expertise and ensure relevance to the variety of medical and allied health markets - Inclusion of latest ultrasound image modalities - Designed to complement and enhance the highly successful Gray's family of texts/atlases although also effective as a stand-alone or alongside other established anatomy resources

CD-ROM contains the entire contents of the text as well as computerized animations that show the development of human anatomy at every stage. Illustrated with photographs, line drawings, and state-of-the-art cross-sectional images.
