About Photographic Atlas Of Practical Anatomy

Product Description Walter Thiel's brilliant photographs are unique. They revolutionize macroscopic anatomy because - due to a new preservation technique developed by the author himself - all tissues retain their living color, consistency and position. For the first time anatomical sites show the real color and form of human organs as well as their true positions. Thiel's new technique, his exceptional abilities as a photographer and the filigree dissections add up to vivid, almost artistic illustrations of great depth and clarity. Apart from the topographical anatomy of the upper part of the human body, Part II illustrates the most important punctures of joints and some surgical approaches. Thus this atlas is not only of interest to anatomists and pathologists but particularly to those working in surgical professions. From the Back Cover 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.
