Description

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-color 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 visualization 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.

Reviews

"This [book] does an excellent job of providing beautiful, well labeled photographs of cross sections of embalmed human material in conjunction with classical radiological images. The third edition has added some of the latest in three-dimensional radiological reconstructions and added CT images with increased sensitivity and specificity. This book is a must for radiologists in training who are learning to interpret sectional images."--Doody's

"The plentiful figures and diagrams are very helpful to the reader, and the index is extensive and easy to navigate. Human Sectional Anatomy fulfills its intended purpose of 'combining three presentations of cross-sectional anatomy--that of the dissecting room, CT and MRI.' It is a beautiful atalas that will be a valuable reference for its target audience. I enthusiastically recommend it."--Philip Goodman, MD, as reviewed in Radiology
