Overview
This new edition of the classic atlas incorporates the latest technological advances in radiologic anatomy, including increased resolution and numerous new images in computed tomography and magnetic resonance. Descriptions have also been revised and updated to reflect the most current understanding and recent advances in sonography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, positron emission tomography, and single-photon emission computed tomography.
The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
Synopsis

Each page of this book is a radiographic study accompanied by a labeled line diagram on the adjacent page. These studies cover the gamut of normal radiologic exams, including plain radiographs, CT, ultrasound, and MRI, as well as less common studies like cholecystogram, HSG, and knee arthrograms. This atlas is intended as a reference. The latest preface recommends this atlas as a reference for students and radiology health professionals. I suggest that it best serves as a reference for medical students, nonradiologic house staff, and technologists. The book covers a broad spectrum of very helpful basic plain film radiologic anatomy with accompanying small diagrams detailing each radiographic projection. The brief and selected few images of the newer modalities are frustratingly limited. For example, there are one or two sagittal midline MR images of the cervical spine, foot, and knee. Only one nuclear medicine study is labeled with the type of radionuclide trailer with no accompanying description of the type of study, reason, and explanation. The resolution of the ultrasound images is disappointing. It would be helpful to have a description of the projection accompanying each image. For example, there is a single image of a neonatal hip that is very coarse and the accompanying line drawing is unhelpful. This book is presented well on good quality paper and includes a glossary, table of contents, and an index for easy location of specific anatomic questions and/or particular studies. I found the plain radiograph anatomy, which encompasses the first 150 pages, the most useful and helpful.

A reference for both students and health professionals in radiology, affording them the opportunity to check and expand their knowledge of the anatomic details observable by radiology with guidance from the drawings accompanying each radiograph. One quarter of the radiographs in this extensively revised edition are new and represent diagnostic imaging methods that have become prominent in the past few years. Translated from the German.
