Are the pocket atlases less detailed than the Atlas of Anatomy?

 

[gomango]

How large are these books? Are they actual "pocket size"? Do you offer an electronic version of these texts as well as the "hard copy"?

 

[scarletgirl777]

Are there any "clinical pearls" in this atlas, particularly in the Head and Neck volume?

 

[175961]

what, if any, significant changes were made in the current editions of these books to improve them?

 

[Mortal_Lessons]

Do the CT/MRI images have accompanying drawings sketched with the anatomy labeled, or is there actual labeling on the CT/MRI images? Thanks.

 

[Thieme]

These pocket-sized atlases are each 5 in X 7.5in or roughly as tall as a water bottle, but with little width and girth. They will definitely fit inside any coat pocket, and most normal pockets.

There is currently no electronic version that accompanies the hard copy, although this fact may change in the near future.

 

[Thieme]

Are the pocket atlases less detailed than the Atlas of Anatomy?

They are different. The Pocket Atlas of Sectional Anatomy presents sectional CT and MR images and correlates them to full-color drawings. It is a navigational tool and diagnostic aid for radiologists. The Atlas of Anatomy presents human anatomy in fantastic full-color drawings, texts, etc.

 

[Thieme]

Are there any "clinical pearls" in this atlas, particularly in the Head and Neck volume?

The atlas itself is a clinical pearl: on each double-page, one CT or MR images is paired with the corresponding drawing which is clearly labeled. The drawings are consistently color coded. The position of each slice is also clearly shown.

Updates for this edition include:

• Most CT and MR images were replaced with new images of the highest quality.
• More slices per examination are presented.
• The coverage of many structures was expanded and updated.
• Consistent color coding was applied, making it easy to identify individual structures across several slices.

On each double-page, one CT or MR images is paired with the corresponding drawing which is clearly labeled. The drawings are consistently color coded. The position of each slice is also clearly shown.

I understand now how the double pages work, but are any images or actual brain slides have labels? If not, it seems the diagrams do suffice since much of the scan cannot be differentiated.

 

[UserNameNeeded]

Is it organized to where you have a "normal" section followed by pathologic sections? How comprehensive, if at all, are the pathologic sections?

 

[ksmi117]

Is there any link between this and the Atlas of Anatomy, like references in this book to the page numbers of that one where more information can be found regarding that body system?

Is there any link between this and the Atlas of Anatomy, like references in this book to the page numbers of that one where more information can be found regarding that body system?

Although these titles are both broken down by body system, and cover much of the same material, they are not formally linked. Both were created with different audiences in mind: the concise yet comprehensive Atlas of Anatomy for general anatomy courses; and the 3 volume series for students looking to find the correlation between MRI's and CT's with corresponding anatomy.

 

[peludoguy]

do these books contain clinical correlations?

 

[twoinone]

Are the images in this pocket atlas the same as the ones found in Atlas of Anatomy? Thanks!

 

[abmd]

is there any information on it apart from the images? like insertions/origins?

 

[Thieme]

Are the images in this pocket atlas the same as the ones found in Atlas of Anatomy? Thanks!

No, although they often cover the same anatomical structures. To complement the differing structures of these titles, the illustrations would not be applicable.

 

[Thieme]

is there any information on it apart from the images? like insertions/origins?

Each double-page spread is a unit: on the left page there are a CT or MR image and a sketch that indicates the level and orientation of the section, and on the right page there are the corresponding, clearly labeled full-color drawing and the anatomical definitions of the labels.

 

[Thieme]

Is it organized to where you have a "normal" section followed by pathologic sections? How comprehensive, if at all, are the pathologic sections?

This pocket atlas was conceived to cover normal sectional anatomy on CT and MR images. It would not be within the scope of this pocket atlas to cover related pathologies.

 

[facetguy]

Are there images of normal/congenital variants that can sometimes prove tricky and mimic pathology?
