Product Description

Weir and Abrahams' Imaging Atlas of Human Anatomy is the definitive atlas of normal anatomy as viewed through the complete range of imaging modalities. The book is organised by region, each area of normal anatomy being presented via a range of techniques. The images are meticulously labelled, providing the reader with a reliable and comprehensive guide to normal human anatomy.

The third edition has been updated to reflect advances in imaging technology, particularly in terms of CT, MR and ultrasound imaging. In all, 200 new diagnostic images have been added, and in response to user feedback, 25 new line diagrams have been added to aid interpretation of certain key images. The book therefore now includes over 700 photographs of outstanding clarity, as well as 35 interpretative artworks.

Customer Reviews

A great book, but a few points for improvement!
I found this book very interesting, although as i'm not experienced in reading X-rays, MRI etc. it was sometimes difficult for me to see just exactly what was being shown, especially in images of the viscera. It would also be useful if the book included some images of findings of disease, although i can appreciate that this isn't the point of the book. On the whole, a very good resource.

Good for revision
I got this book so that I could get used to looking at X rays & MRIs in preparation for OSCES at med school as this is something we don't get much opportunity to do this. The images are clear and well-labeled so it is quite easy to identify what on earth you're looking at! All the images are of 'normal' - some abnormal images would have come in handy for my purposes but all in all a good book
