Product Description
This atlas includes full-color photographs of actual cadaver dissections instead of idealized illustrations, to accurately and realistically represent anatomical structures. Often used by students as an alternative or supplement to their lab experience, and as an introduction to exactly what they should see before they dissect, as well as a study aid before practical/identification exams.

 Good book October 2, 2009
Busayo Irojah (ohio)
The book arrived on time and in perfect condition so I have no complaints about shipping and condition.
It has been somewhat helpful in my anatomy class. It's nice to have actual photos of cadvers and not just pictures. My only complaint is that it does not have enough pictures. I looked through the whole book for the picture of a lumbrical but could not find one. I'm thinking of buying Netters to complement it. (All my anantomy lecturers use Netters, that's another reason I'm buying it)
The book also seems a bit disorganised. I try looking at the table of contents when looking for things but I often end up flipping through it or checking the index.
Overall its a good book.
 Excellent pictures September 18, 2009
Carlos E. De Freitas (BrasÃlia, Brazil)
The book has very clear and instructional pictures. They could be a little larger, but it does not affect the quality of the work. Another good point is that all the human body is well covered, there is no unclear area.
To sum up: I recommend the product for everyone who intend to have a good anatomy book, even if not english native speaker
great book September 12, 2009

Pictures are great to study by, it is good to look at pictures of cadavers than pictures artists rendered themselves.
The best anatomy atlas available September 11, 2009

I am currently in my first year of medical school and the required books for Medical Gross Anatomy Lab are: Gray's Disection Guide for Human Anatomy and Netter's. Rohen's Color atlas of Anatomy has extremely clean disections and very good labeling, and now my required books are collecting dust because this book has everything I need. I use this book everyday and it goes everywhere with me, it is by far the best atlas for clinical anatomy- and it's a hardback too!
No Better Tool Exists To Prepare The Student for Cadaveric Practical Exams August 16, 2009
Jacob Hantla (Chandler, AZ United States)
Rohen's atlas presents the gross anatomy of the human body in well organized, high-quality photos of amazing-quality dissections. I used Rohen's Anatomy (alongside Netter's and McMinn's) as I studied with cadavers. I do feel like Rohen was the tool that set apart my studying, performance, and understanding from those who used only the cadavers and Netter.
The basic presentation is superficial to deep dissections (beginning with osteology), region by region. Complex structures are presented from a number of different views. Aberrancies are noted. Each structure is identified with a line connected to a number. The numbers correlate to a list of structures located on the same or opposing page. This makes for excellent self-testing.
I can think of no better tool for studying physicians (and advance practice nurses and PAs) to use in conjunction with Dr. Netter's atlas to help them understand gross anatomy. There is no better tool than this to prepare the student for cadaveric lab practical identification exams.
