More About This Textbook
Overview
Map out all of the key structures of the human body with examples of real human dissections...and easily place them in a clinical context! This popular atlas incorporates an unrivalled collection of cadaveric, osteological, and clinical images with surface anatomy models, interpretive drawings, orientational diagrams, and diagnostic images - emphasizing a well-rounded visual perspective of a real human body as seen by modern doctors. The 6th Edition offers new endoscopic images, 250 new dissection photos (including eight pages of new dissections on lymphatics), and 300 new clinical thumbnails. A bonus DVD - new to this edition - includes 1,000 additional photos not found in the text, as well as questions and answers that accompany each section from the book.
• Displays X-ray, MR, and CT images next to corresponding dissections, showing how to recognize anatomic structures in diagnostic images.
• Presents interpretive drawings to help you differentiate between structures with a similar appearance (i.e., veins, arteries, and nerves).
• Offers orientational diagrams that make it easier to relate the dissections in the text to real experiences in the lab.
• Provides an unobstructed view of the artwork by using a numbered labeling system, which also allows you to self-test by covering up the key and identifying each numbered structure yourself.
• Presents 300 new clinical thumbnails - with relevant clinical notes and additional images on the DVD - that emphasize the clinical relevance of images depicted and demonstrate their clinical relevance.
• Offers 250 new dissection photos that enhance the overall quality and scope of the images shown · eight pages of new dissections on lymphatics · 50 new illustrations reflecting the increasing use of diagnostic imaging in anatomy teaching · and 20 new endoscopic images to reinforce memorization of structures.
• Features a bonus DVD with 1,000 clinical photos not found in the text...more information on clinical correlations...and questions and answers that accompany each section of the book.
Editorial Reviews
From The Critics
Reviewer: David W. Brzezinski, MD(University of Michigan Medical School)Description: Significantly, this regionally organized atlas of human anatomy primarily uses expertly dissected cadaveric images. This update provides significant additions to the fifth edition which was published in 2003.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide an integrated approach to the study of human gross anatomy by way of assimilating cadaveric dissections with clinical cases, surgical photographs, and pathological images. This is an outstanding resource, and is most certainly welcome in an age when students of the health sciences eagerly seek to apply, analyze, and synthesize the basic medical science knowledge that they must learn..
Audience: The authors direct the atlas at students of medicine, dentistry, physical and occupational therapy, as well as radiology and surgery residents. Faculty and teachers of human anatomy will find this a refreshing resource full of clinical examples that will help their students better understand many foundational anatomic relations and principles.
Features: Cadaveric dissections are expertly labeled, and relevant artistic drawings are included to clarify important concepts and relations. Succinct descriptions of the region and important clinical pearls are inserted when needed. Of particular appeal are the hundreds of clinical cases and images, many of which are radiologic, endoscopic, laparoscopic, and surgical. Also of note is the concerted effort with which the authors consistently demonstrate images of surface anatomy throughout the entire body. The art, images, and radiographs are of exceptional quality and greatly enhance learning. It is particularly enjoyable to study a book such as this and gain an appreciation for how structures actually look.
Assessment: This is a great resource for all students of human anatomy, regardless of their particular field of study and regardless of their current level of expertise. It is especially useful for students desiring extensive clinical correlation and those wanting to truly understand how the human body really looks, despite the great value of many atlases using various drawings and art. I already use McMinn's Color Atlas of Head and Neck Anatomy, 3rd edition, Logan et al. (Elsevier, 2004) extensively in my teaching of students and residents. I am excited about the way this new edition will further enhance my teaching (and student learning!) of the entire human body.
From the Publisher
REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS EDITION:"It's hard to fault the concept or execution of this magnificent atlas" — Journal of Audiovisual Media Medicine"...high quality overall, buying a copy will most likely be a beneficial investment for the future." — Professor Chris Kelly, Cambridge University, Murmur - Cambridge University Medical Society Magazine, UK"...composed of large picture dissections of actual cadavers of which the print quality is excellent and gives you a realistic view of what you are going to be faced with. It includes surface locators so that it is clear which places were dissected on the live model. The numbered features on the pictures make it particularly user-friendly for revision, as do the different cross-sections of each dissection."An added incentive to buy this atlas is the added inclusion of a CD-ROM which can make revision more interactive." — First Year Medical Student, Rectum - Leeds University Student Medical Magazine; UK"...exactly what I need for this portion of my course - clear concise pictures to complement anatomy sessions...don't think I can really fault the book." — Medical Student, University of Bristol, UKBMA Book Awards 2008 - Highly Commended"This book is easy-to-read and up-to-date with excellent pictures of anatomy. The clinical correlations are of the highest quality. This is an excellent book with good clinical cross references and the new DVD make this a must for all students of medicine, surgery and allied fields."Product Details
