Editorial Reviews

Booknews
**** Netter, creater of the classic CIBA collection of medical illustrations (cited in BCL3) has selected from those great drawings, revising some anatomy and terminology, and made new illustrations when he felt it necessary for this work. This volume has 514 color plates, many with multiple views, all done in Netter's well- known, widely-used, and lucid style. This book will displace many now used in anatomy courses as reference/text books. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From The Critics
Seldom has the appearance of a new scientific book created as much excitement as has Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy. It has been discussed in the national press and was the subject of a special segment of a network television prime-time news program. The attention provided this book is well deserved. Netter's career during the past 50 years has been as a medical artist, and he has produced more than 4,000 illustrations. . . . Now Dr. Netter has culminatedhis career by combining in one volume his outstanding illustrations of the anatomy of the human body. He has updated and improved many of his previous drawings, and he has created new pictures to fill gaps where no previous ones existed. The end result of this effort is a book of outstanding artistic and scientific merit that is destined to become a classic both in the field of human anatomy and in artistic portrayal of the human body.

Preface

The release in 1989 of the first edition of Dr. Frank Netter's "personal Sistine Chapel"-the Atlas of Human Anatomy-was a major event in the history of the teaching and learning of anatomy. Almost instantly, the Atlas of Human Anatomy became the top-selling anatomical atlas in the world and clearly became the students' choice universally. It has retained that position ever since. At the core of that success, of course, is the remarkable artwork and style of Dr. Netter, rendered in consultation with many of the century's outstanding anatomists, skillfully edited and published through the teamwork of Novartis Medical Education, in consultation with Dr. Sharon Colacino (now Oberg) for the first edition. Joining the Novartis team for the development of the "sister" Netter products (Interactive Atlas of Human Anatomy and Interactive Atlas of Clinical Anatomy CD-ROMs) and now the second edition of the Atlas of Human Anatomy book is the fulfillment of a nearly lifelong dream for me. I am delighted to have the opportunity to continue this tradition of quality as we strive to improve the education, learning, and applied knowledge of healthcare providers for the new century.

It is a testimony to the high quality of the first edition that a decade later record sales and course adoptions continue to increase annually. In view of this success, why a new edition? We intend to make the best-seller even better! In doing so, however, we have made a conscious effort not to significantly increase the overall size of the book or the level of detail, or alter the style of presentation, which students have clearly told us are some key reasons for the first edition'ssuccess.

The most noticeable changes are the importing of additional Netter illustrations (e.g., see Plates 288, 430, 432, and 511) and the addition of new artwork rendered masterfully in the Netter style by Novartis artist Carlos Machado, M.D. (see the new section on cross-sectional anatomy, Plates 512 through 525). These new plates and illustrations significantly enhance the usefulness of the Atlas in the contemporary anatomy curriculum and in practice, adding meaningful detail and helping the student to learn and understand cross-sectional anatomy, essential to the interpretation of the new medical imaging techniques. To accommodate the additional plates at least in part, several plates on variations of abdominal vasculature have been condensed. The common variations are still addressed; reference to The Netter (formerly CIBA) Collection of Medical Illustrations is recommended for treatment of the more rare anomalies.

Dr. Machado has made changes on a number of plates to correct anatomical errors and especially to update anatomical detail consistent with current knowledge, gained largely through the use of medical imaging techniques in studying the anatomy in the living. In particular, the section on the pelvis and perineum has been extensively revised, replacing the outdated concepts of the trilaminar "U.G. diaphragm" or "deep perineal pouch" and the planar external urethral sphincter with current concepts.

Labeling has also been improved by making the terminology consistent throughout the book and updating it to the most current standard for anatomical terminology. I am grateful to have had the assistance of Dr. Duane Haines (central nervous system), and especially Dr. Robert Leonard (everything else!) in this formidable task. Internationally, the Latin form of terminology has been replaced with more user-friendly anglicized forms (English equivalents), in both common usage and scholarly endeavors. Where the new terminology is a marked change from that previously employed, we have retained the previous term in parenthesis to ease the transition (e.g., fibular (peroneal) nerve). While most anatomists favor use of descriptive anatomical terminology, many clinicians are reluctant to forego the tradition of the eponym. Thus the more common eponyms have also been retained parenthetically. The index-which, as Dr. Netter remarked in reference to the first edition, "is a book in itself"-has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the consistently applied, revised terminology. Accuracy of leader line placement has been increased even further, and leaders have been modified where necessary to delineate more clearly the labeled structures. The efforts of proofreader Nicole Friedman, who worked with me as we sacrificed our eyesight verifying the accuracy of the 32,000 leader lines running from as many labels, are also greatly appreciated.

Thanks to project editors Gina Dingle and Thomas Moore for their oversight (and insights), and to "the boss;" team leader Sandy Purrenhage, for cracking that whip and getting the job done mostly on schedule (reason be damned!). Special thanks to my wife, Muriel Dailey (still Dailey), for keeping the home fires burning, and for the patience she and our boys have had with me, my projects, and my office hours.

Professor of Anatomy

Introduction

I have often said that my career as a medical artist for almost 50 years has been a sort of "command performance" in the sense that it has grown in response to the desires and requests of the medical profession. Over these many years, I have produced almost 4,000 illustrations, mostly for The CIBA (now Netter) Collection of Medical Illustrations but also for Clinical Symposia. These pictures have been concerned with the varied subdivisions of medical knowledge such as gross anatomy, histology, embryology, physiology, pathology, diagnostic modalities, surgical and therapeutic techniques and clinical manifestations of a multitude of diseases. As the years went by, however, there were more and more requests from physicians and students for me to produce an atlas purely of gross anatomy. Thus, this atlas has come about, not through any inspiration on my part but rather, like most of my previous works, as a fulfillment of the desires of the medical profession.

It involved going back over all the illustrations I had made over so many years, selecting those pertinent to gross anatomy, classifying them and organizing them by system and region, adapting them to page size and space and arranging them in logical sequence. Anatomy of course does not change, but our understanding of anatomy and its clinical significance does change, as do anatomical terminology and nomenclature. This therefore required much updating of many of the older pictures and even revision of a number of them in order to make them more pertinent to today's ever-expanding scope of medical and surgical practice. In addition, I found that there were gaps in the portrayal of medical knowledge aspictorialized in the illustrations I had previously done, and this necessitated my making a number of new pictures that are included in this volume.

In creating an atlas such as this, it is important to achieve a happy medium between complexity and simplification. If the pictures are too complex, they may be difficult and confusing to read; if oversimplified, they may not be adequately definitive or may even be misleading. I have therefore striven for a middle course of realism without the clutter of confusing minutiae. I hope that the students and members of the medical and allied professions will find the illustrations readily understandable, yet instructive and useful.

At one point, the publisher and I thought it might be nice to include a foreword by a truly outstanding and renowned anatomist, but there are so many in that category that we could not make a choice. We did think of men like Vesalius, Leonardo da Vinci, William Hunter and Henry Gray, who of course are unfortunately unavailable, but I do wonder what their comments might have been about this atlas.

Frank H. Netter, M.D.
(1906-1991)

    Brilliant

    My wife is a medical student, and she says that Netter's made Anatomy class much easier to follow. I, on the other hand, am an illustrator. The atlas provides me with accurate, beautifully depicted structural details. Studying this book has helped me to understand the subcutaneous origins of all those skin ripples, folds, bulges, and lines. This book should be on every med student's shelf and every illustrator's shelf. If you're married like we are, then you only need one shelf!
