This cross-sectional anatomy book provides a complete and precise look into the anatomic structures seen in the cross-sectional plane. With the use of cadaver sections, illustrations and corresponding diagnostic images the anatomy is displayed with great detail. Also included are explanations and descriptions which enhance the knowledge of the human body and its functions. As an instructor in Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging, I would HIGHLY recommend this book for those wishing to expand their "anatomical knowledge". The sophistication of this book would be ideal even for the most advanced learner in human anatomy.
It was Wednesday, 1pm and I found myself in the paediatric X-ray meeting staring at an abdominal CT scan desperately attempting to relate the collection of black, white and grey shapes to the anatomy I had studied in the dissecting room over a year ago in anticipation of the questioning which was undoubtedly to follow. Cross Sectional Human Anatomy from Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins sets out to enable basic anatomy to be related easily to the cross sectional imaging commonly encountered within clinical settings. It uses the best imaging from the visible human project to present anatomy in a regional format with a chapter devoted to each region. Each chapter begins with a short description of the most important structures found within that region. Individual chapters contain numerous sections at different levels. Each level is given a double page spread, that contains a labelled cryosection with a diagram and short description to aid interpretation and most importantly a corresponding CT and or MR image. In addition, some diagnostic imaging using other methods (plain radiograph or ultrasound) is provided. All of the imaging is of high quality and web links to where the original visible human data can be viewed are provided. This is a useful book, that achieves what it sets out to do, filling the gap between the traditional anatomy book and the imaging atlas. This is a reasonably priced addition to the bookshelf for rapid review of the anatomy learnt in the pre clinical setting within a clinical context.
I just completed my first year gross anatomy course and this book was required. The concept is excellent and the plates are amazing but there is one problem, the book has many mistakes. It was very confusing to learn the relationship of structures then turn to the cross-sectional book only to see the same structures mislabeled. If a newer addition is corrected, I would bump this up to a 4-5 star rating.
I purchased this book for less than $5 and I gotta say, it was the best $5 I've ever spent. This book came in the mail and had slight wear on the cover (normal throw in a book bag and tote it to school stuff), but the pages were beautiful. No markings or highlighting, the edges were still crisp and white. I am completely satisfied with this purchase.
I like how this book combines the sections with radio images. The thing I didn't like was the size and shape of the book (It was awkward). I think they could have laid things out better to compare the different sections.
I bought this book along with some other coworkers of mine to review our human anatomy for MRI and CT. It has excellent pictures and very detailed descriptions. Easy to learn from and turn the pages without bending book!! I highly recommend to others! Great price as well!
I just received my book and it was supposed to be new. It was opened and the book is dirty and pages are torn. I didn't pay 38 dollars for this!!!! I will be returning it!!!!!
Nice images and keys. Very accurate. The binding is a bit flimsy.
