Donald R. Cahill, Ph.D., Matthew J. Orland, M.D., and Gary M.Miller, M.D.

Since its first publication a decade ago, Atlas of HumanCross-Sectional Anatomy has become a standard reference for theinterpretation of sectional images obtained with either computedtomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Now, this Third Editionhas been substantially expanded and updated, offering entirely newsections on the major joints, as well as dozens of new images ofthe head obtained with the latest MR technology.

This atlas presents detailed illustrations of anatomicalcross-sections-- meticulously drawn and labeled-- that are matchedwith high-quality CT or MR images or actual photographs of cadaversections. Orientation diagrams appear on the corner of every pageand show precisely where the slice was taken as well as thedirection from which the slice is being viewed.

The book covers the entire body, featuring:
? Transverse sections of the thorax, abdomen, and male and femalepelves
? Multiple views of the limbs
? Sagittal, coronal, and angled orbitomeatal views of the head andneck
? The spine in sagittal and axial planes
? The knee and shoulder shown both coronally and sagittally


Revised to reflect emerging trends in the medical imaging field aswell as the latest advances in technology, Atlas of HumanCross-Sectional Anatomy, Third Edition is an important resource foranatomists, radiologists, and all practitioners who utilize CT orMR images.

From reviews of the Second Edition:
