Description

Accurately identify blood cells at the microscope with Clinical Hematology Atlas, 7th Edition! An excellent companion to Rodak's Hematology: Clinical Principles and Applications, this award-winning atlas uses clear, full-color images of normal and abnormal blood cells to help you understand hematologic morphology. Figures and charts clearly illustrate hematology from blood film preparation and examination to normal cell maturation and the development of various pathologies. Readers will also find value in the atlas’s focus on significant microscopic findings and how these relate to clinical diagnosis. Compact and portable, this visual reference is an essential tool for anyone studying or working in hematology.

Key features

  • Schematic illustrations, electron micrographs, and color photographs in every chapter visually enhance your understanding of hematologic cellular morphology
  • Coverage of morphologic abnormalities is presented in a schematic fashion in the chapters on erythrocytes and leukocytes, along with descriptions of each cell
  • Key ancillary testing including molecular diagnostics, immunophenotype, and cytochemical stains are featured in the leukemia and lymphoma, assisting in the classification of both malignant and benign leukoproliferative disorders
  • Body fluid analysis chapter highlights cell and crystal identification in multiple fluid sources and pathologies
  • Compact size, concise writing, and spiral binding make this atlas easy to carry and easy to use in the clinical laboratory
  • Glossary of hematologic terms at the end of the book provides quick, easy access to definitions
