Classées par région, les fiches présentent l’anatomie et l’imagerie du dos, du thorax, de l’abdomen, du pelvis et du périnée, du membre supérieur, du membre inférieur, de la tête et du cou, ainsi que l’anatomie de surface et l’anatomie générale. Le système de question-réponse favorise la stimulation et la mémorisation : le recto de chaque fiche offre une illustration anatomique détaillée comportant les structures à reconnaître ; le verso identifie ces structures en y apportant des précisions sur leurs fonctions, leurs corrélations cliniques, etc. Des schémas synoptiques détaillent l’innervation des organes et des régions du corps et une section entièrement dédiée à des exemples d’imagerie diagnostique (IRM et TDM) permet de visualiser leur aspect radiologique. En fin d’ouvrage, des fiches d’auto-évaluation permettent d’approfondir ses connaissances cliniques. Par leur approche clinique et la qualité de leurs illustrations, ces Fiches d’anatomie sont un outil indispensable de révision et d’entraînement pour réussir aux examens des études de santé et un atout majeur pour la préparation des questions d’anatomie des épreuves classantes nationales (ECNi). Cette nouvelle édition propose une mise à jour de certaines fiches existantes avec l’ajout de notes cliniques ainsi qu’une douzaine de nouvelles fiches d’imagerie (en phase avec les dernières techniques) au sein de la section Imagerie médicale.
