Imaging Anatomy: A Comprehensive Guide to Upper and Lower Extremity Anatomy

The study of anatomy plays a vital role in the practice of medicine, and yet, most textbooks fail to utilize modern imaging and post-processing methods to enhance understanding. “Imaging Anatomy: Text and Atlas Volume 3; Bones, Joints, Muscles, Vessels, and Nerves” is the third installment in a series of four richly illustrated radiologic references edited by renowned radiologist Farhood Saremi.

This atlas is co-edited by esteemed colleagues Dakshesh B. Patel, Damian Sanchez-Quintana, Hiro Kiyosue, Meng Law, and R. Shane Tubbs, and features contributions from an impressive group of international experts. By bridging the gap in radiology education, this book provides descriptions of relevant anatomical components in the context of current advances in imaging technology and science.

State-of-the-Art Imaging Techniques

The atlas combines fundamental core anatomy principles with modern imaging and post-processing methods to increase understanding of intricate anatomical features. High-quality dissecting imaging anatomy, discussion of anatomical variants, postsurgical anatomy, and important pathology examples provide a strong foundation for differentiating normal versus pathologic anatomy.

Twenty-four concise chapters cover:

• Terminology and classification of musculoskeletal structure
• Bones, muscles, joints, arteries, veins, nerves, and lymphatics
