Product Description

The on-going core of this atlas is its standard of realistic illustrations that portray anatomical relationships. Photographs of actual cadaver dissections along with numerous schematic drawings aid the student in anatomic orientation. Chapters are organized by region, in order of a typical dissection. Each chapter contains two sections: a description and illustration of organs, and a depiction of those organs within the regional anatomy. New to this edition is an increase of MRI pictures, approximately 30 schematic drawings made even more precise, and an updated text where appropriate. This is a Brandon-Hill recommended title.

Customer Reviews

An exceptional atlas for medical students!
Having looked at about six different atlases and a dozen or so anatomy textbooks, I found that Rohen et al have produced an atlas that is to the point and yet has detail and quality of photographs that are exceptional. Many photographs are accompanied by schematic drawings which illustrate the relation of structures with blood supplies or nerve innervation. The atlas can be used for quick reference as well as in depth study or revision. However, the atlas, just like any other, has to be used in conjunction with a text book of anatomy for finer points e.g. embryological development of certain organs. But as an atlas, I think it is superb and a must investment for a medical (myself) or anatomy student. Fully recommended!!
