X-Ray Anatomy describes as well as illustrates the elementary and advanced radiological anatomy. This book presents the radiograph of the various parts of the human body, including the head, neck, upper limb, lower limb, abdomen, thorax, and the vertebral column. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of the four classical methods of inspection, percussion, palpation, and auscultation. This text then describes the structure of the human skeleton, including its physical properties and its appearance in the radiograph. Other chapters consider the surface contours and skeletal landmarks of the shoulder and arm. This book discusses as well the condition of spina bifida, which is accompanied by anomalies of the spinal cord. The final chapter deals with several diagrams showing the radiographs of the larynx, the skull, as well as the ventricular system of the brain. This book is a valuable resource for radiologists, physicians, surgeons, and internists.

Clinical Applications of Human Anatomy: A Laboratory Guide is an exciting new manual specifically designed to provide students with a more practice oriented method for learning human gross anatomy. This engaging style allows students to bridge the all-important gap between the classroom where anatomy is taught and the clinic where anatomy is used. Michael F. Nolan has assembled learning activities as well as self-assessment tasks as the primary method of teaching for the student. The activities will acquaint students with clinically relevant aspects of human structure in ways similar to those that will be encountered in clinical practice. The self-assessment questions are a great tool that will provide an objective measure of progress and success in learning the material. The emphasis on human structure rather than on a particular skill or group of skills coupled with its unique format of being just text, allows Clinical Applications of Human Anatomy to be the perfect companion for traditional anatomy texts and courses. Better-educated students become better prepared health professionals.

This illustrated volume examines the different methods artists and anatomists used to reveal the inner workings of the human body and evoke wonder in its form. For centuries, anatomy was a fundamental component of artistic training, as artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo sought to skillfully portray the human form. In Europe, illustrations that captured the complex structure of the body—spectacularly realized by anatomists, artists, and printmakers in early atlases such as Andreas Vesalius’s De humani corporis fabrica libri septem of 1543—found an audience with both medical practitioners and artists. Flesh and Bones examines the inventive ways anatomy has been presented from the sixteenth through the twenty-first century, including an animated corpse displaying its own body for study, anatomized antique sculpture, spectacular life-size prints, delicate paper flaps, and 3-D stereoscopic photographs. Drawn primarily from the vast holdings of the Getty Research Institute, the over 150 striking images, which range in media from woodcut to neon, reveal the uncanny beauty of the human body under the skin
