The knowledge of the structure and topography of the various
organs of the human body is a prerequisite not only for the
education of medical students but also for everyone involved in
diagnostic and therapy of human diseases. This knowledge can
optimally be gained by dissection of the human body, with an
excellent atlas by one’s side. Today there exist a number of good
anatomic atlases, but most of them contain mainly schematic
drawings, which minimally reflect reality. In contrast, the photographs
of the actual anatomic specimens have the advantage of
conveying the reality of the object with its proportions and
spatial dimensions in a more accurate manner.
On the other hand, schematic drawings help us to better understandthe photos. Therefore, in this eighth edition, the number
of drawings has greatly been increased and old drawings have
been replaced by new ones specifically adapted to their accompanying
photos.
The didactic purpose of this atlas is not only to help the studentunderstand the topography of the human body. We also hope
to provide a way to systematically learn the anatomical structures
and functions. Therefore, the chapters of regional anatomy
are consequently placed behind a systematic description of the
anatomical structures – e.g., before dissecting an extremity, the
student can study the systematic anatomy of the involved bones,
joints, muscles, nerves, and vessels.
The correlations between clinical images like MRI and CTscans can best be learned if sections of scans can be directly
compared with cadaveric anatomical sections of the same region.
In this edition, a number of MRI scans have been added that
have been taken in a plane of the related anatomical section. In
addition, functional MRI scans of the heart and the related
anatomical preparations are included, hopefully increasing the
importance of the atlas for clinical purposes.
