Description
First published in 1991, Human Sectional Anatomy set new standards for the quality of cadaver sections and accompanying radiological images. Now in its fifth edition, this unsurpassed quality remains and is further enhanced by additional 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. The detailed dissections have been carefully selected to assist the reader in observing and interpreting human anatomy in cross-sectional dimension. Radiological images and explanatory diagrams captured using the most up-to date imaging technologies, including some new examples for this latest edition, ensure excellent visualization of the anatomy. The photographic material is enhanced by useful notes with details of important anatomical and radiological features while the introductory material has also been expanded, providing additional guidance to help readers interpret the atlas pages that follow.
Key Features:
? Superbly photographed cadaver sections showing realistic colour, with additional examples across many body regions
? Comprehensive labelling updated with the latest terminology
? Invaluable additional notes giving extra detail on anatomical and radiological features
? New for this edition - separate coverage of breast and kidney with accompanying notes and imaging where applicable; osteology of the skull, vertebral column, foot and hand; additional dissections of the ear, lung, heart, and male and female pelvis
Beautifully presented in a generous format, Human Sectional Anatomy continues to be an invaluable resource for all radiologists, radiographers, surgeons and medics, in training and in practice, and an essential component of departmental and general medical library collections.
