Product Description
Designed to serve as both a clinical manual and an instructional tool, this text covers the sectional anatomy of the entire body in an easy-to-understand, comprehensive format. The user-friendly design of the book presents actual, diagnostic-quality images from both MRI and CT modalities, side-by-side with line drawings to illustrate the planes of anatomy most commonly imaged. Concise explanations describe the location and function of the anatomy, and each image clearly labels all pertinent anatomic structures to aid in location and identification of anatomy during actual clinical examinations. The result is a practical guide that improves the imaging professional's ability to consistently produce the best possible diagnostic images. Instructor resources are available; please contact your Elsevier sales representative for details.
- Side-by-side presentations of images and line drawings on the same page spread allow the reader to see correlations between line drawings of physical anatomy and actual, diagnostic-quality CT and MR images.
- Over 1,300 images and detailed line drawings demonstrate sectional anatomy for every plane of the body that is commonly imaged.
- Pathology boxes briefly describe common pathologies related to the anatomy being discussed to form connections between the scans in the text and common pathologies readers are likely to encounter in practice.
- Summary tables organize anatomic information for each major muscle group, listing the muscles, points of origin and insertion, and functions.
- Anatomic maps - line drawings that show the angle and level of each scan - appear with the actual scans, so readers can easily access the proper orientation for scanning and identifying anatomy.
- 290 new scans, including more 3D and vascular images, demonstrate current technology.
- A new introductory chapter provides a foundation by teaching the terminology related to sectional anatomy and preparing the reader for more complex content that follows.

 Perfect Condition October 5, 2009
J. M. H. Sosa (Toa Baja, PR USA)
The Sectional Anatomy for imaging professionals, is a good text book for the knowledge of all sectional imaging of all the body. Specialty in the area of brain and nervous sistem. When I received the book, the book was in a perfect condition.
Great Service April 13, 2009

Product was in excellent condition just like the seller said and I received the item in a timely fashion.
Crossectional anatomy for NONimaging professionals September 11, 2008
Cheapbastard who buys stuff (Albuquerque, NM)
Using this for a cross sectional anatomy class that is required for my Medical Physics program. It seems to be a decent book so far, only covering what I need. I'm not sure how the "imaging professionals" would view it, but I think it is very helpful.
Awesome for CT beginners and pros April 10, 2007
Charmin (Utah)
Has tons of true to life CT images, great descriptions, easy to follow. Also recommend obtaining the workbook that goes along with it. Together they help the understanding process faster and clearer. Don't even need to attend a class with these books!
 Caused more frustration than anything October 28, 2006

5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This was the required text for my Sectional Anatomy course, as part of my radiography curriculum. I found the layout of the book disorganized and frustrating. I felt it would have been helpful and appropriate for the text to address the sequencing of CT/MRI images instead of showing a random shot here or there...I suppose that's difficult to do without a multimedia/interactive presentation, but I still had alot of trouble learning via this text. I found the abbreviated captions virtually useless and ill-concieved. It's one thing if you're tyring to quiz yourself and want a hint, but if you're trying to learn from scratch, it would have made much more sense seeing the long-hand terms written out in the columns so we know what we're looking at. Having to glance down at the caption and search for the abbreviation in question proved very distracting to the learning process. And the written text was...well, not enough text. Instead of offering helpful ways to differentiate and remember the many different body parts and structures, the text follows a very robotic "the A bone connects to the B bone which leads to the C artery and supplies the D organ...". I felt overwhelmed with similar-sounding descriptions and didn't take much away from the learning experience that wasn't lost in days. If I already had an understanding of cross-sectional anatomy before using this text, it may have served as a succinct review, but given the fact it is assigned to first-time X-sectional learners I felt it was too abstract and devoid of personality. If I decide to go into CT or MRI in the future, I plan on selling this book and doing a little research on finding the best and most current text available at the time. I can tell this one won't age well.
