Photographic Atlas of Practical Anatomy II

Beschreibung

Walter Thiel's brilliant photographs are unique. They revolutionize macroscopic anatomy because - owing to a new preservation technique developed by the author himself - all tissues retain a lifelike color, consistency and position. These are the first dissections that accurately portray the human organs as they would appear to the operating surgeon. Thiel's new technique, his skills as a photographer and the filigree dissections add up to vivid, almost artistic illustrations of unprecedented depth and clarity.
Part II takes up where Part I left off, exploring the topographical anatomy of the upper part of the body while also illustrating joint punctures and serveral surgical approaches. This gives the atlas an exceptional scope, making it a valuable reference work not only for anatomists and pathologists but also for those working in surgical professions.
In the Preface to the first volume of the Photographic Atlas of Practical Anatomy, we explained our special interpretation of the structure of the superficial fascia of the hu man body. The second volume of the Atlas retains this concept and further substanti ates its validity. The order in which the anatomic regions are presented may seem unconventional, but it is intended to reflect the importance of"transitional regions" in understanding ana tomic relationships. Wherever possible, regions that border one another are presented in sequence. Additionally, we wanted the format of the second volume to follow that of the first, so the joints are placed at the end of the book and the preceding pages are de voted to the upper limb. We start with the neck, as it provides a logical transition to the head. The nuchal region serves the same function for the back, which, as part of the thoracic cage, forms a gate way to the lateral and anterior chest wall and finally to the upper limbs, which original ly developed from the torso as ventral buds. A photographic presentation, more than any other, is bound to reflect individual varia tions. This is not necessarily a disadvantage, and we hope that our approach will serve to "flesh out" general and abstract principles. Our reference list covers only works that relate directly to the second volume. Other sources may be found by consulting the more comprehensive bibliography and preface ofVolume I.
Brilliant presentations of anatomical structures in their living color, consistency and position; * Clinical importance: surgical approaches and punctures of joints are covered * Of interest to all those working in surgical professions * Ideal as work or reference book.
