Designed to serve as both a clinical manual and a training tool, this text covers the sectional anatomy of the whole body in an easy-to-understand, comprehensive format. The easy to use style of the book presents actual, diagnostic-quality images from both MRI and CT methods, side-by-side with line drawings to show the planes of anatomy most typically imaged. Concise descriptions describe the location and function of the anatomy, and each image plainly labels all pertinent anatomic structures to help in place and recognition of anatomy during actual medical assessments. The result is an useful guide that improves the imaging specialist’s capability to consistently produce the very best possible diagnostic images. Instructor resources are available; please call your Elsevier sales agent for details. Side-by-side presentations of images and line drawings on the very same page spread permit the reader to see connections in between line drawings of physical anatomy and real, diagnostic-quality CT and MR images. Over 1,300 images and comprehensive line drawings demonstrate sectional anatomy for every single airplane of the body that is typically imaged. Pathology boxes briefly describe typical pathologies connected to the anatomy being discussed to form connections between the scans in the text and common pathologies readers are likely to encounter in practice. Summary tables arrange structural info for each major muscle group, listing the muscles, points of origin and insertion, and functions. Structural maps – line drawings that show the angle and level of each scan – appear with the actual scans, so readers can easily access the appropriate orientation for scanning and determining anatomy. 290 new scans, consisting of more 3D and vascular images, demonstrate current innovation. A brand-new introductory chapter supplies a structure by teaching the terms related to sectional anatomy and preparing the reader for more complex material that follows.
