Cross-Sectional Anatomy for Computed Tomography: A Self-Study Guide with Selected Sections from Head, Neck, Thorax, Abdomen, and Pelvis

This self-study guide recognizes that evaluation and interpretation of CT-images demands a firm understanding of both cross-sectional anatomy and the principles of computed tomography. Unlike most textbooks and atlases intended for the specialist, Cross-Sectional Anatomy for Computed Tomography offers an easy-to-understand approach suitable for medical students, physicians in training, and other health care professionals. The objectives of this book are: - to discuss the basic principles of CT - to stress the importance of cross-sectional anatomy to CT through study of selected cardinal transverse sections of head, neck, and trunk - to explain orientation and interpretation of CT-images with the aid of corresponding cross-sectional preparations.
