Atlas help: Grant's or Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy

i use gross anatomy and netter!with gross, not only for real picture, but also u can learn how to read a Xrays film or CTscan, MRI....i think it useful! i like gross than netter!

Netter.

Netter for illustrations, Rohens for actual pictures. Get 'em both.

1) Netter is awesome.

2) I bought (Moses'?) Clinical as well, and liked it much better than Rohens (my friend had a copy that I would look at occasionally. Much better format.

3) i'll throw in a plug for Gray's Anatomy. Big text, but it is great.

4) Add Chung BRS (for the questions, mainly) and you'll do very well.

I personally liked Clemente...a book that doesn't get much love on this site. There are little comments at the bottom of the pages of Clemente that I think are helpful, unlike Netter which just points out the structures.

If you have Netter, why would you want anything else? They really aren't all that useful, IMO. Grant's was not very good.

For photo atlases I think Moses is superior to Rohen, although both are excellent. I don't think you should use a photo atlas as your only atlas.

For illustrated atlases, take a close look at Clemente, which I think is better than Netter or Grant's. If you have the $$$, also check out Sobotta or Thieme.

I used Netter's for most of Gross Anatomy, and did terrible on the practicals. For the last test, I used Rohen's and did much better. It's a matter of personal preference I guess.

use Netter or Grant and Rohen. I recommend Rohen if you want the real stuff. Netter is good for beginners, but at the end there is no substitute for real stuff like Rohen. I don't know anything about Moses.

Netter's is very "cartoony." I would say go with Grant's. It's an excellent atlas. (Plus Arthur Dalley--the guy who writes it--is at Vanderbilt. )

Most people in our class used a Netter's/Grant's (no real big difference to me) and a Rohen's.

Netter's is good for learning the orientation of structures and Rohen's is good for testing yourself for practical-like scenarios. WAIT until school starts and you can almost always get these used for significantly less.

In addition, AMSA at our school offered a free new copy of Netter's to anyone who joined (and paid the fee which was about $60 or so)

Great thread. I was trying to figure this one out myself since I'm going to have a little time on my hands and my undergraduate degree (bioinformatics) had 0 anatomy in it. I think I'll start with Netter and take it from there.

Which book by Moses are y'all referring to? Is it:

1 ) Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy

http://www.amazon.com/Atlas-Clinica...9255640?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181228270&sr=8-1

or

2) Gray's Anatomy for Students & Atlas of Clinical Gross Anatomy Package

http://www.amazon.com/Grays-Anatomy...9255640?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181228270&sr=8-2

Thanks!

I think #2 is a package deal with 2 books including #1

isn't netter all you really need? maybe grant's dissector, but a lot of the instructions are confusing in there too. rohen's might be useful to some people, but it's kind of unrealistic - can't really compare your group's parotid/facial nerve dissection to rohen's...

i'd say just hold onto netter's for now and maybe wait until a few gross lectures to see if you really need anything else. you probably won't. good luck.
