Atlas Of Human Anatomy In Cross Section

This online textbook provides a colour atlas of sectional anatomy in the axial plane for health care providers. It is part of the Virtual Hospital, a digital health sciences library created in 1992 at the University of Iowa to help meet the information needs of health care providers and patients.

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.

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
