Imaging Anatomy: Text and Atlas Volume 2: Abdomen and Pelvis

Unique anatomic atlas provides an indispensable virtual desk dissection experience

Normal  imaging anatomy and variants, including diagnostic and surgical  anatomy, are the cornerstones of radiologic knowledge. Imaging Anatomy:  Text and Atlas Volume 2, Abdomen and Pelvis is the second in a series of  four richly illustrated radiologic references edited by distinguished  radiologist Farhood Saremi. The atlas is coedited by esteemed colleagues  Damián Sánchez-Quintana, Hiro Kiyosue, Dakshesh B. Patel, Meng Law, and  R. Shane Tubbs with contributions from an impressive cadre of  international authors. Succinctly written text and superb images provide  readers with a virtual, user-friendly dissection experience.

This  exquisitely crafted atlas combines fundamental core anatomy principles  with modern imaging and postprocessing methods to increase understanding  of intricate anatomical features. Twenty-two concise chapters cover the  abdominal wall, alimentary tract, liver, biliary system, pancreas,  spleen, peritoneum, genitourinary system, pelvic floor,  neurovasculature, and surface anatomy. Relevant anatomical components of  the abdomen and pelvis are discussed, including musculature, arteries,  veins, lymphatics, ducts, and innervation.

Key Highlights

• High-quality  cross-sectional multiplanar and volumetric color-coded CT, MRI, and  angiography imaging techniques provide detailed insights on specific  anatomy
• Cross-sectional  and topographic cadaveric views by internationally known anatomists  coupled with more than 1,600 illustrations clearly elucidate difficult  anatomical concepts
• Consistently  formatted chapters include an introduction, embryology, review of  anatomy, discussion of anatomical variants, postsurgical anatomy, and  congenital and acquired pathologies

This  unique resource provides an excellent desk reference for  differentiating normal versus pathologic anatomy. It is essential  reading for medical students, radiology residents and veteran  radiologists, internists, and general surgeons, as well as vascular and  transplant surgeons.
