Introduction To Sectional Anatomy

Featuring all the latest imaging modalities—including ultrasound, MR, and PET/CT—this Second Edition text provides a solid understanding of sectional anatomy and its applications in clinical imaging. Chapters on each body region include patient CT and MR images shown in sequence through multiple planes, followed by clinical cases centered on CT, MR, ultrasound, and PET/CT images. By comparing images from different patients, readers learn to distinguish normal anatomic variations from variations that indicate disease or injury. This edition includes new clinical cases and has a new layout that makes it easier to compare images from several patients. Each chapter ends with clinical application questions.

An ideal resource for the classroom or the clinical setting, Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals, 3rd Edition provides a comprehensive, easy-to-understand approach to the sectional anatomy of the entire body. Side-by-side presentations of actual diagnostic images from both MRI and CT modalities and corresponding anatomic line drawings illustrate the planes of anatomy most commonly demonstrated by diagnostic imaging. Concise descriptions detail the location and function of the anatomy, and clearly labeled images help you confidently identify anatomic structures during clinical examinations and produce the best possible diagnostic images. Side-by-side presentation of anatomy illustrations and corresponding CT and MRI images clarifies the location and structure of sectional anatomy. More than 1,500 high-quality images detail sectional anatomy for every body plane commonly imaged in the clinical setting. Pathology boxes help you connect commonly encountered pathologies to related anatomy for greater diagnostic accuracy. Anatomy summary tables provide quick access to muscle information, points of origin and insertion, and muscle function for each muscle group. Reference drawings and corresponding scanning planes accompany actual images to help you recognize the correlation between the two. NEW! 150 new scans and 30 new line drawings familiarize you with the latest 3D and vascular imaging technology. NEW! Chapter objectives help you concentrate on the most important chapter content and study more efficiently. NEW! Full labels on all scans provide greater diagnostic detail at a glance.

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.

This workbook and board review guide reinforces key concepts covered in Introduction to Sectional Anatomy, Second Edition, and is also designed to thoroughly prepare you for the CT and MR registry examinations. The workbook contains multiple-choice questions that follow the format used on CT and MR registry examinations, plus case studies and clinical application exercises to build critical thinking skills. In this Second Edition, cases have been expanded to include ultrasound images and the latest imaging technology, including 3D and PET/CT.

This timely atlas details advancements in PET/CT and SPECT/CT. Each chapter provides nuclear medicine practitioners, radiologists, oncologists, and residents with detailed information on normal anatomy of FDG PET/CT, variations and artifacts of FDG PET/CT, normal anatomy of non-FDG PET/CT, and normal anatomy of PET/CT and SPECT/CT. Coverage emphasizes anatomy to reinforce the names of organs and to support familiarization with normal and abnormal findings. The atlas has been compiled with help from experienced contributors from several top international imaging centers. Throughout the text, four-color images aid readers in proper interpretation.

Ultrasonic Sectional Anatomy centers on the imaging processes, methodologies, and approaches employed in sectional anatomy. The selection first offers information on the brain and cerebral ventricles, eye and orbit, and the thyroid and adjacent soft tissues of the neck. The book also examines the breast, heart, and abdominal muscles and skeletal boundaries. Topics include anterior abdominal wall, pelvic muscles, diaphragm, recording the cross-sectional echocardiogram, and echography of the normal breast. The text elaborates on the upper abdominal viscera and the kidneys, including renal anomalies, spleen, pancreas, adrenal glands, and gall bladder and bile ducts. The manuscript then takes a look at the gastrointestinal tract and peritoneal cavity and viscera of the lower abdomen and pelvis. Discussions focus on scrotum and penis, urinary bladder, ureter, seminal vesicles, and prostate, and peritoneal recesses. The selection is a dependable reference for readers interested in ultrasonic sectional anatomy.
