A revised and redesigned second edition of this photographic atlas. The work covers bones, surface anatomy and radiographic material from the skull to the feet, including the brain. This book contains many new photographs, new dissections and more radiological material.

Originally published as part of the McMinn anatomy atlas family, McMinn's Color Atlas of Head and Neck Anatomy remains the only large format photographic atlas of the human head and neck, incorporating outstanding dissections, osteology, radiographic and surface anatomy images. It is the ideal study aid or trusted reference for the range of students and practitioners who require a detailed understanding of the head and neck, including those in dentistry, radiology and surgery. Dissections are accompanied by concise notes and commentaries, as well as orientational artworks to help readers locate the structure on the body. Dental anaesthesia information and important quick reference lists are also incorporated in appendices at the back of the book. This updated fifth edition offers increased clinical relevance and features an entirely new chapter on Imaging of the Head and Neck, reflecting the very latest modalities and techniques. It also comes with the complete, enhanced eBook for the first time. Increased clinical relevance – helps translate traditional anatomy into current clinical practice All new state-of-the-art clinical imaging – including: 3T MRI of the brain with tractography Cone-beam CT assessment of the jaws and middle ear Concise notes and commentaries for every dissection Dedicated dental section

McMinn's Color Atlas of Head and Neck Anatomy is the only large format atlas of the human head and neck, incorporating outstanding dissections, osteology, and radiographic and surface anatomy images. Bari M. Logan, Patricia Reynolds, and Ralph T. Hutchings present a "road map" reference to the structures of the head and neck, ideal for study or exam review. New dissections and double page spreads provide detailed depictions for additional and more specific areas. The more complex dissections are accompanied by explanatory artwork and all dissections are accompanied by notes and commentaries. Reference lists and dental anesthesia information are incorporated into appendices at the back of the book. All in all, this is a beautiful and thorough atlas of the whole head and neck region. "It is difficult find any fault with a book that has been so painstakingly prepared and remains so comprehensively relevant. A copy in the library for reference is not good enough - everyone should have their own!" European Journal of Orhtodontics, July 2010 Presents life-sized images of dissections and osteology to correspond with what you see in the lab or in practice. Includes radiography and surface anatomy pictures so that the content is clinically relevant. Features notes and commentaries for every dissection and orientational and explanatory artwork for those that are more complex so that you have a complete understanding of position and application. Incorporates reference lists and dental anesthesia information into appendices at the back of the book for additional resources and clinical material. Features 12 new "in-fill" dissections of single glands to serve as the definitive reference for head and neck. Presents new double page spreads on vascularity of the brain, eruption and growth of deciduous teeth, sutural bones, and the skull for more detailed depictions of these key areas. Includes new clinical photographs that reflect the current state of practice and keep you up to date.

An invaluable resource for gaining a visual orientation to skull base surgery Praise for this book: "[Four stars] Populated with superb pictures of anatomical dissections...highly recommend[ed]...to any clinician dealing with skull base conditions." - Doody's Review A richly illustrated, step-by-step guide to the full range of approaches in skull base surgery, this book is designed to enable the surgeon to gain not only the technical expertise for common procedures, but to be able to confidently modify standard approaches when necessary. Full-color images of cadavers orient the surgeon to the clinical setting by presenting in precise detail the perspective encountered in the operating room. The images demonstrate surgical anatomy and the relevant structures adjacent to the exposures. Special emphasis on the relationship between the operative corridor and the surrounding anatomy helps the surgeon develop a clear understanding of whether tissues adjacent to the dissection can be exposed without complications. Features: More than 1,000 high-quality images demonstrate key concepts Brief lists of "Key Steps" guide the surgeon through each step of the dissection Concise text supplements each photograph, providing descriptions of technical maneuvers and clinical pearls Coverage of the latest innovative approaches enables surgeons to optimize clinical techniques Through detailed coverage of surgical anatomy and relevant adjacent structures, this book enables clinicians to develop a solid understanding of the entire operative region as well as the limits and possibilities of each skull base approach. It is an indispensable reference for neurosurgeons, head and neck surgeons, and otolaryngologists, and residents in these specialties.
