Atlas of Human Cross-Sectional Anatomy: With CT and MR Images Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Cross-sectional Atlas includes radiographic images of every possible cross section as well as a detailed illustrated pen & ink drawing of the same area for cross reference. These two images are together on the same page for easy reference, and the pictures are all of the highest quality-- easy to see. John Wiley & Sons has made a beautiful product. It really is a must for every radiologist or any physician who wants to be able to read MRIs and CTs on their own. (The book contains both MRI and CT image.)

Atlas of Human Cross-Sectional Anatomy Third EditionDonald R. Cahill, Ph.D., Matthew J. Orland, M.D., and Gary M. Miller, M.D.Since its first publication a decade ago, Atlas of Human Cross-Sectional Anatomy has become a standard reference for the interpretation of sectional images obtained with either computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Now, this Third Edition has been substantially expanded and updated, offering entirely new sections on the major joints, as well as dozens of new images of the head obtained with the latest MR technology.This atlas presents detailed illustrations of anatomical cross-sections-- meticulously drawn and labeled-- that are matched with high-quality CT or MR images or actual photographs of cadaver sections. Orientation diagrams appear on the corner of every page and show precisely where the slice was taken as well as the direction from which the slice is being viewed.The book covers the entire body, featuring:* Transverse sections of the thorax, abdomen, and male and female pelves * Multiple views of the limbs * Sagittal, coronal, and angled orbitomeatal views of the head and neck * The spine in sagittal and axial planes * The knee and shoulder shown both coronally and sagittallyRevised to reflect emerging trends in the medical imaging field as well as the latest advances in technology, Atlas of Human Cross-Sectional Anatomy, Third Edition is an important resource for anatomists, radiologists, and all practitioners who utilize CT or MR images.From reviews of the Second Edition:"Overall, the images are of a high quality in a field (particularly MRI) which is evolving continuously."-- European Journal of Nuclear Medicine"Highly recommended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of anatomy and for all medical libraries."-- Choice"The large, lucid pictures have labels that are extremely well done. The authors have skillfully used sufficient labels to identify all important structures yet few enough to avoid confusion and clutter."-- Mayo Clinic Proceedings"Overall, this is an excellent atlas, a useful resource for the general radiologist and resident in training."-- Radiology

Arthritis in Color: Advanced Imaging of Arthritis Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a terrific little book, very well-written, readable, and beautifully illustrated. It is an extremely "cutting edge" and comprehensive presentation of it's topic. It rapidly brought me up to speed on the newest aspects of medical imaging in all types of arthritis, including MRI, molecular imaging, PET, ultrasound, etc. I haven't found any other book that puts all of this new material together in one package. It makes everything so easy to understand. Highly recommended! It picks up where "Arthritis in Black and White," leaves off.

MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I didn't care for this book much. It strikes me as just a collection of images the authors had lying around. No real purpose or structure. To suggest that this book is about pitfalls is misleading. There's really no text to this book, just captions to pictures. So don't expect a discussion of common pitfalls and how to avoid them. This book isn't even remotely as useful as Keats, so the comparison is inaccurate in my opinion. The idea is a good one, but this book does not deliver what the title suggests.

MRI Normal Variants and Pitfalls presents over 1,800 images of normal anatomic variants, artifacts, and other features that mimic pathology on MRI scans. The book will reduce the rate of diagnostic errors by helping radiologists distinguish pathology from MRI appearances that may simulate disease.
Organized by anatomic region, the book covers the gamut of neuroradiology, breast imaging, vascular, cross-sectional, and musculoskeletal radiology. Each chapter shows examples of normal anatomy, variations, common incidental or benign conditions, and imaging features that may mimic other disease processes. Concise figure legends facilitate rapid identification of imaging characteristics. Examples of common MRI artifacts are included, with brief explanations from physicists in language understandable to radiologists.

Emergency Radiology Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Schwartz's Emergency Radiology was written by emergency physicians and it shows. It serves its mission well, that is, to teach radiology as it pertains to emergency physicians (from the foot to the brain, from CT scans to plain films) as well as serve as a valuable reference in the busy ED. High-yield radiographic images and anatomical schematics correlate nicely with the well-written text. The authors assume very little as the book relies on basic pathophysiology and general medical descriptives (understood by even beginning medical students) rather than the obscure terminology of most radiology texts (which are written by radiologists). The book goes further to correlate abnormal radiographic findings with the incidence of actual significant pathology, making it an exceptionally useful tool in this day and age of cost-effective resource utilization. Medical students will find it very readable and extremely valuable in its basic foundations. (I personally wish I had this as a student). Seasoned attendings in any field (maybe even radiologists!) will find definite practical value as well. In summary, this unique textbook comes highly recommended by this emergency resident who prefers to truly understand the pathophysiology behind radiographic findings and its clinical relevance without unnecessary details.

In the emergency department, consistent and accurate interpretation of radiographs is vital for the care of the acutely ill or injured patient. Written by emergency physicians for emergency physicians, this new title conveys the information required to interpret routine radiographic studies with the signposts for quick and accurate diagnosis. The book organizes the crucial and most elemental information, combining clear instructional figures and tables with clinically relevant text. High quality radiographs are accompanied by line drawings which more clearly define the anatomy as seen in the image. (20010101)
