Overview
In this easily accessible pocket atlas, two expert radiologists present the normal radiographic anatomy readers need in order to interpret conventional diagnostic radiographs. Each practical, two-page unit displays a standard radiograph of a different projection on the left-hand side supplemented by a detailed, clearly labeled schematic drawing on the opposing page. The consistent, user-friendly format facilitates easy identification and rapid review of key anatomic information.
Features:
- 177 radiographic studies provide multiple views of every basic anatomic structure
- High-resolution radiographs appear beside explanatory drawings to aid comprehension
- Seven examinations new to this edition cover a trans-scapular Y view of the shoulder; 45 external and internal rotation views of the knee; and more
An ideal reference for anyone involved in the interpretation of commonly performed radiographic studies, the third edition of Pocket Atlas of Radiographic Anatomy is an especially valuable tool not only for medical students and radiology residents, but also for radiological technologists.
Incl. standard radiographs for 170 radiographic examinations & their different projections.

Editorials
Doody Reviews
Reviewer: Kenneth A Bell, DVM, MD (Ochsner Clinic Foundation)Description: This is an update of an excellent atlas of radiographic images of human anatomy, with both conventional imaging and images using radiographic contrast material. The previous edition was published in 2006.
Purpose: It is intended as a readily accessible tool for reading, learning, and reference.
Audience: Although it appears to be directed at students, the book should be useful for practitioners as well. It also could be helpful in educating patients about to undergo radiographic procedures.
Features: The book covers a wide gamut of radiographic anatomy using keys to identify anatomic parts and it does a good job of outlining pertinent anatomy. There are images that use radiographic contrast material or simulated contrast material with drawings outlining anatomic structures. It is pocket-sized and information is readily available. It would be helpful to include CT and MRI images in future editions.
Assessment: This is a good introduction to radiographic anatomy for medical students and beginning radiology residents. It also should be helpful to general internists and other clinicians. The images are excellent, making a detailed understanding of the anatomy possible. This edition would be more comprehensive if CT, MRI, and ultrasound images were added.
