Overview
The 6th edition of Wolf-Heidegger's Atlas of Human Anatomy has been further revised, expanded and updated by Professor Petra Kopf-Maie r. A well-established classic, the atlas has been renowned for the high quality of its illustrations since its inception; the more rec ent editions, however, have also received praise for their didactic structure and clinical approach. All illustrations are in color a nd are complemented in a highly instructive manner by a generous nu mber of anatomical sections and selected radiological images (ultra sound, CT scans, MRIs). Placing these side by side serves to develo p and train the skills needed to interpret these images correctly. This edition includes the following new features: New clinically relevant illustrations have been included an d are shown within their practical context, ranging from herniated discs and paralysis symptoms to the consequences of a stenosed port al vein. The chapter on head and neck anatomy, which is of specific interest to dental students, has been enlarged. The atlas consistently employs the current Terminologia Ana tomica. Furthermore, the most important eponyms are introduced sinc e they form an important part of daily clinical communication. Wolf-Heidegger's Atlas of Human Anatomy has been designed and craft ed explicitly for students of human medicine and dentistry in their preclinical and clinical years, but will also appeal to clinical p ractitioners, who will appreciate the illustrations' superb quality and beauty as well as their continuing relevance to daily practica l decision-taking.
