Unique anatomic atlas provides an indispensable virtual desk dissection experience
Normal
imaging anatomy and variants, including diagnostic and surgical
anatomy, are the cornerstones of radiologic knowledge. Imaging Anatomy:
Text and Atlas Volume 2, Abdomen and Pelvis is the second in a series of
four richly illustrated radiologic references edited by distinguished
radiologist Farhood Saremi. The atlas is coedited by esteemed colleagues
Damián Sánchez-Quintana, Hiro Kiyosue, Dakshesh B. Patel, Meng Law, and
R. Shane Tubbs with contributions from an impressive cadre of
international authors. Succinctly written text and superb images provide
readers with a virtual, user-friendly dissection experience.
This
exquisitely crafted atlas combines fundamental core anatomy principles
with modern imaging and postprocessing methods to increase understanding
of intricate anatomical features. Twenty-two concise chapters cover the
abdominal wall, alimentary tract, liver, biliary system, pancreas,
spleen, peritoneum, genitourinary system, pelvic floor,
neurovasculature, and surface anatomy. Relevant anatomical components of
the abdomen and pelvis are discussed, including musculature, arteries,
veins, lymphatics, ducts, and innervation.
Key Highlights
- High-quality
cross-sectional multiplanar and volumetric color-coded CT, MRI, and
angiography imaging techniques provide detailed insights on specific
anatomy
- Cross-sectional
and topographic cadaveric views by internationally known anatomists
coupled with more than 1,600 illustrations clearly elucidate difficult
anatomical concepts
- Consistently
formatted chapters include an introduction, embryology, review of
anatomy, discussion of anatomical variants, postsurgical anatomy, and
congenital and acquired pathologies
This
unique resource provides an excellent desk reference for
differentiating normal versus pathologic anatomy. It is essential
reading for medical students, radiology residents and veteran
radiologists, internists, and general surgeons, as well as vascular and
transplant surgeons.
