Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This atlas includes full-color photographs of actual cadaver dissections instead of idealized illustrations, to accurately and realistically represent anatomical structures. Often used by students as an alternative or supplement to their lab experience, and as an introduction to exactly what they should see before they dissect, as well as a study aid before practical/identification exams.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 18 of 18 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Atlas for Gross Anatomy, October 6, 2006 By  Auntie Bea (Colorado USA) - See all my reviews Although Netter's classic drawings are helpful in understanding the layout of human body systems, I find that this 6th Edition of Rohen is outstanding due to the excellent photography of professionally-dissected cadavers. It is much easier to identify complex structures on real cadavers in a Gross Anatomy lab using this reference; moreover, it is helpful as a tool to study when the cadaver lab is not open. Real bodies are much more difficult to analyze than idealized drawings--with this book, you can review before a laboratory excercise and have a more realistic expectation of what you are going to actually see. People generally have different tastes in the types of atlases that they prefer to use, but I think that this one covers everything you would want to see. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Essential supplement for gross anatomy, January 5, 2007 By  C. Schaye (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I used this book along with Netter's atlas for my gross anatomy course in med school. However I found myself referring to Rohen far and away more often than Netter's. Because Rohen has actual photographs of cadavers it is VERY useful for studying for anatomy PRACTICAL EXAMS. What you see in Rohen is what you will see on your cadaver, whereas Netter's is pretty to look at but not at all realistic. Highly recommended! 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Plentiful, clear photos and outstanding organization, February 13, 2007 By  T. Calvert "T" (Denver CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I too, return to this atlas for the photo-realism. I especially appreciated the colored cranial bones (just like my favorite real model in class), colored bronchopulmonary segments of the lungs, and colored differentiation of the brain lobes. The photos of the skull break apart each individual bone into multiple angle views and pieces to expose you to all the hidden landmarks. They're also a good test of spacial recognition of the same landmark from multiple views and layers. Other photo atlases just don't have this breath and depth AND the photos in this one are the clearest I've seen. Most are shot on a black background for utmost contrast and clarity. The cadaver disections are clearly defined and distinctly detailed. Pencil sketches which further clarify the photos, are in black and white, using color only to highlight the featured system or organ, which is a different approach from Netter's.
