5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent atlas, August 22, 2005

This atlas is the best imaging atlas I have encountered to date in a price range suitable for medical students. The illustrations are of superb quality, and cover a wide range of images, including CT scans, MRIs, angiograms, etc. The only real limitation of the atlas is that it does not cover any pathological anatomy. We have used the Barrett atlas for MRIs in the past, but will probably discontinue using it since the Weir text has very similar MRIs. We will continue using the Wicke text, but the Weir text has figures comparable to a fair number of the Wicke figures, in addition to having the best array of MRIs, CT scans, angiograms, etc.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, March 29, 2000

This review is from: Imaging Atlas of Human Anatomy, 2nd Edition (Paperback)

It is a good atlas for a trainee. It includes difficult part of body with a precise label. However, it is not easy to find the one that you want since there are plenty of labels. In addition, I think it is much better if there are few sentences to elicit the information concerning the radiological imaging like certain common normal variants that one could see in the radiological imaging

3.0 out of 5 stars great images, little additional info, February 2, 2010

This review is from: Imaging Atlas of Human Anatomy, 3e (Paperback)

Great image quality and very inclusive of several disciplines, including X-ray, CT, MRI and some ultraound made studying easier. The presentation of both axial and sagitall images was also helpful. It was howver very disheartening that the vertebral levels for each image were not identified. This made it less useful for initial studying that I had hoped it would be.
Overall a very good study tool, not great for self-taught study though
