This atlas demonstrates all components of the body through imaging, in much the same way that a geographical atlas demonstrates components of the world. Each body system and organ is imaged in every plane using all relevant modalities, allowing the reader to gain knowledge of density and signal intensity.

Revolutionary computer images reveal the wonders and complexities of every system in the male and female bodies using the most advanced medical and computer technology including body scans, ultra-powerful microscopes, and molecular surveillance tools.

This atlas presents detailed illustrations of anatomical cross-sections-- meticulously drawn and labeled-- that are matched with high-quality CT or MR images or actual photographs of cadaver sections. Orientation diagrams appear on the corner of every page and show precisely where the slice was taken as well as the direction from which the slice is being viewed. The book covers the entire body.

High-definition computers were used to compile cuts taken from one cadaver into three different perspectives: transverse, coronal, & sagittal. This is a visually compelling & scientifically precise collection of nearly 3,000 full-color images. Spitzer & Whitlock who were commissioned by the Nat. Library of Med. to make the cuts & compile the images, have exhaustively labeled the images & provided anatomical commentary throughout the text.

The outstanding illustrative material still represents its main feature: 375 halftones and line drawings comprise a complete and convenient atlas for the interpretation of neuroimaging studies. Fifteen newly written chapters introduce illustrations of the gross anatomy, the blood supply and the microstructure of the central nervous system and deal with the development, topography and functional anatomy of the spinal cord, brain stem and cerebellum, diencephalons and telencephalon.

This atlas instills a solid knowledge of anatomy by correlating thin-section brain anatomy with corresponding clinical magnetic resonance images in axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. Each brain stem region is then analyzed with 9.4 T MRI to show the anatomy of the medulla, pons, midbrain, and portions of the diencephalonin with an in-plane resolution comparable to myelin- and Nissl-stained light microscopy.

Detailed anatomic drawings and state-of-the-art radiologic images combine to produce this essential atlas of lymph node anatomy. Utilizing the most recent advances in medical imaging, this book illustrates the nodal drainage stations in the head and neck, chest, and abdomen and pelvis. 2-D and 3-D maps offer color coordinated representations of the lymph nodes in correlation with the anatomic illustrations.

This surgical atlas, now in its second edition, provides superbly illustrated step-by-step descriptions of a wide range of open head and neck procedures, including radical and conservative approaches, aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries with the use of axial and free flaps, and surgery within the narrow confines of the skull base. Individual chapters are dedicated to surgery of the nose and paranasal sinuses, larynx and trachea, thyroid, salivary glands, mandible, face and lips, and head and neck, the repair of external nose defects, the use of axial and free flaps, and surgical treatment of temporal bone malignancies.

There is no atlas that approaches the accuracy and comprehensiveness of The Atlas of the Human Brain. The atlas includes a DVD with not only the atlas in electronic format, but also 3D visualisation software that allows easy browsing of the images.
