Imaging Anatomy: Chest, Abdomen, Pelvis, third edition, is an essential reference for new doctors, core radiology trainees and other specialists who would benefit from a working understanding of radiological anatomy and pathology. Spanning nearly 1,200 pages, this text offers a plethora of high quality multimodality images including CT, MR, ultrasound and plain film, as well as angiography and more.
With this being the third edition, there are multiple updates included. I personally found the addition of the PIRADS system and clinical implications of MRI for prostate cancer helpful for my clinical practice.
As with other editions, the inclusion of highly detailed, in-depth normal anatomy and variants as well as useful pathologies makes this a well rounded tome fit for your library. Every section is well organised and logically flows into the next while you navigate through the chest, abdomen and pelvis. The well created contents and index allow quick navigation towards areas of interest, a much-needed feature considering the size of the text.
A particular area of merit is the inclusion of both radiological and traditional anatomical graphics. This combination caters to both the more radiologically and surgically minded, allowing for comprehensive visual understanding of the topic at hand. It also aids those looking for a rounded appreciation of radiological anatomy and its current limitations. A particular favourite of mine is the inclusion of real-world examples of common radiology tropes such as real tree-in-bud, so you can truly appreciate what the imaging appearances are named for. The ebook through the Elsevier platform is a welcome addition, offering flexibility and convenience for users who prefer digital access and all the benefits that come with it.
When compared to others in the same category, this atlas stood out in particular for its high resolution pictures and well thought out examples of the concepts and structures it demonstrated. An area for improvement is that the pages are a little thin, which may affect durability; however, this makes a more compact form factor. Overall, this is a well created text that serves as an excellent reference guide, as well as providing a solid understanding of image interpretation through detailed insights into radiological anatomy and pathology. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced professional, this atlas provides a comprehensive resource that will enhance your understanding and application of radiological imaging in clinical practice. Its thorough coverage, high quality images and logical organisation make it a valuable tool in any medical professional’s arsenal.
