Cross-Sectional Human Anatomy
|
|
|
Featuring full color cross-sectional images from The Visible Human Project, this new atlas is co-authored by a radiologist and includes orientation drawings with corresponding MRIs and CTs. Thus students can understand the relationship between anatomy and how it is represented in these imaging modalities. The text includes 100 full color tissue images, 200 line drawings, and 200 magnetic resonance and computed tomography images. Images are labeled with numbers; the key is on a separate two-page spread to facilitate self-testing.

Larger pages and more judicious use of space would have allowed larger pictures showing more detail and more user-friendly labeling (words with lines to structures). Number labels are nice for self-testing but are laborious, especially for novices. There are occasional misidentifications, false statements, misspellings, and typographic defects. The abhorrent terms ""ventroflexor"" and ""dorsiflexor"" are used for the anterior and posterior compartments of the thigh. The second identification key (p. 6) is bollixed, which sets an early mood of mistrust. Some figures are repeated unnecessarily. The basic concept of the book is excellent, and it provides valuable access to the ever-multiplying Internet and CD-ROM progeny of the two cryosectioned subjects.
