Remarkable atlas provides exceptionally detailed, clinically relevant anatomic knowledge! Praise for the prior edition: "The second edition of The THIEME Atlas of Anatomy: Volume 3 Head, Neck and Neuroanatomy is an exceptional book that combines very detailed and accurate illustrations of the region with relevant applied and clinical anatomy. As the authors mention in their preface, this book does really combine the very best of a clinically oriented text and an atlas."-Journal of Anatomy Thieme Atlas of Anatomy: Head, Neck, and Neuroanatomy, Third Edition by renowned educators Michael Schuenke, Erik Schulte, and Udo Schumacher, along with consulting editor Cristian Stefan, expands on prior editions with hundreds of new images and significant updates to the neuroanatomy content. Head and neck sections encompass the bones, ligaments, joints, muscles, lymphatic system, organs, related neurovascular structures, and topographical and sectional anatomy. The neuroanatomy section covers the histology of nerve and glial cells and autonomic nervous system, then delineates different areas of the brain and spinal cord, followed by sectional anatomy and functional systems. The final section features a glossary and expanded CNS synopses, featuring six new topics, from neurovascular structures of the nose to the pharynx. Key Features Nearly 1,800 images including extraordinarily realistic illustrations by Markus Voll and Karl Wesker, photographs, diagrams, tables, and succinct clinical applications make this the perfect study and teaching resource Expanded clinical references include illustrated summary tables and synopses of motor and sensory pathways Neuroanatomy additions include an in-depth overview and content focused on functional circuitry and pathways Online images with "labels-on and labels-off" capability are ideal for review and self-testing This visually stunning atlas is an essential companion for medical students or residents interested in pursuing head and neck subspecialties or furthering their knowledge of neuroanatomy. It will also benefit dental and physical therapy students, as well as physicians and physical therapists seeking an image-rich clinical resource to consult in practice.

Praise for this book: This book is highly recommended and should find its way onto the library shelf of every neuroradiology section. - American Journal of Neuroradiology Authoritative and lavishly illustrated, this best-selling reference returns in a fourth edition with comprehensive coverage of the current imaging strategies for the evaluation of disease processes affecting the temporal bone and its intricate anatomy. New in this edition is a highly practical how-to chapter that presents imaging modalities and technical parameters for CT and MRI as well as an overview of the role of plain film radiography, ultrasound, PET, and PET/CT. The chapter then addresses major clinical indications, providing step-by-step descriptions of how to protocol each case, how to interpret the studies, and how to report findings. The remaining chapters thoroughly cover specific anatomic areas of the temporal bone separately. Each chapter places special emphasis on gaining a solid foundation of the normal anatomy and anatomic variations. It then discusses imaging protocols and image evaluation for specific clinical problems. Highlights: * Practical discussion of standard techniques, protocols, and special considerations for imaging using CT and MRI * In-depth coverage of both common and rare conditions * Clinical insights from international authorities in the field * More than 1,500 high-quality illustrations and images, including CT, MRI, and vascular images using CTA, MRA, and conventional catheter angiography This book is an essential reference for a multidisciplinary approach to assessing diseases affecting the temporal bone.
