D'une part, dans la très grande qualité iconographique, scientifique et pédagogique des quelque 900 illustrations et, d'autre part, dans le choix des coupes anatomiques qui rendent compte du point de vue du clinicien. De plus, le choix des couleurs, l'utilisation de la terminologie anatomique internationale, l'illustration par de nombreux clichés d'imagerie moderne (TDM et IRM) ainsi que des commentaires didactiques facilitent la compréhension et la mémorisation de l'anatomie humaine. L'ouvrage est divisé en huit sections, qui font chacune le tour complet d'une grande région anatomique. Cette 6e édition, entièrement révisée, s'enrichit d'une vingtaine de nouvelles planches d'anatomie et d'imagerie et plus de la moitié des planches ont été révisées (légendes, dessins).
