An ideal resource for the clinical setting, Sectional Anatomy for Imaging Professionals, Fifth Edition, provides a comprehensive and highly visual approach to the sectional anatomy of the entire body. Side-by-side presentations of actual diagnostic images from both MRI and CT modalities and corresponding new full-color anatomic line drawings illustrate the planes of anatomy most commonly demonstrated by diagnostic imaging. Easy-to-follow descriptions detail the location and function of the anatomy, while clearly labeled images help you confidently identify anatomic structures during clinical examinations. In all, it’s the one reference you need to consistently produce the best possible diagnostic images.
- NEW! Contiguous images in multiple planes enhance chapters covering the brain, abdomen, and cranial and facial bones
- NEW! Sonography images are featured in chapters addressing the spine, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis
- NEW Digital images showcase the full range of advancements in imaging, including 3D and vascular technology
- Comprehensive coverage built from the ground up correlates to ARRT content specifications and ASRT curriculum guidelines
- Multi-view presentation of images, with anatomical illustrations side by side with CT and MRI images, promotes full comprehension
- Robust art program with 1,600 images covers all body planes commonly imaged in the clinical setting
- Atlas-style presentation promotes learning, with related text, images, and scanning planes included together
- Pathology boxes help connect commonly seen pathological conditions with related anatomy to support diagnostic accuracy
- Summary tables simplify and organize key content for study, review, and reference
- Introductory chapter breaks down all the terminology and helps you build a solid foundation for understanding
