Step By Step Cross Sectional Anatomy

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.

The analysis of cross-sectional anatomical images is an excellent supplementary method of teaching anatomy to students, and this user friendly pocket guide is an excellent reference and pedagogical tool. Designed for easy reference, it also acts as a practical guide towards the interpretation of CT studies. In full color throughout, the book contains a figure and description on each page, of images of normal axial CT anatomy. The images are also contained on the free photo CD Rom. This book will be valued by students of anatomy as a learning tool and by qualified medical professionals as a handy reference manual.

First published in 1991, Human Sectional Anatomy set new standards for the quality of cadaver sections and accompanying radiological images. Now in its third edition, this unsurpassed quality remains and is further enhanced by some useful new material. As with the previous editions, the superb full-colour cadaver sections are compared with CT and MRI images, with accompanying, labelled line diagrams. Many of the radiological images have been replaced with new examples, taken on the most up-to date equipment to ensure excellent visualisation of the anatomy. Completely new page spreads have been added to improve the book's coverage, including images taken using multidetector CT technology, and some beautiful 3D volume rendered CT images. The photographic material is enhanced by useful notes, extended for the third edition, with details of important anatomical and radiological features.

This new learning resource makes it easy for readers to learn, identify, and recall anatomic structures in cross-section. All body part chapters include an anatomical overview that reviews the relationship between the structures of that region. Sectional anatomy is described through the use of labeled computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images. The three-way structure presentation--anatomical scanograms; patient scans (MRs and/or CTs); and adjacent correlating line drawings--enables readers to identify anatomy on actual images. Each chapter includes objectives, key terms, and review questions, with answers in separate appendices. Pathology case studies illustrate the clinical significance of sectional images.

A sure grasp of cross-sectional anatomy is essential for accurate radiologic interpretation, and Sectional Anatomy by MRI and CT, 5th Edition, provides exactly the information needed in a highly illustrated, quick-reference format. New coverage of the cervical spine, brain, and thumb, as well as new on/off labels in the eBook version make this title an essential diagnostic tool for both residents and practicing radiologists. Features color-coded labels for nerves, vessels, muscles, bone tendons, and ligaments that facilitate accurate identification of key anatomic structures. Provides new on/off labels in the accompanying eBook, as well as scroll and zoom capabilities on photos for convenient access during interpretation sessions and real-time resident education. Presents carefully labeled MRIs for all body parts, as well as schematic diagrams and concise statements, to clarify correlations between bones and tissues. Includes CT scans for selected body parts to enhance anatomic visualization. Features 1165 state-of-the-art images that can be viewed in three standard planes: axial, coronal, and sagittal. Any additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.
