Atlas of Anatomy 4th Edition

Atlas of Anatomy, Fourth Edition — Edited by Anne M. Gilroy, Brian R. MacPherson, and Jamie C. Wikenheiser; based on the work of Michael Schuenke, Erik Schulte, and Udo Schumacher; illustrations by Markus Voll and Karl Wesker — Published by Thieme

Building on its longstanding reputation as the highest quality anatomy atlas published to date, this Fourth Edition features more than 2,000 exquisitely detailed illustrations — including over 120 new to this edition — helping students and seasoned clinicians alike master the details of human anatomy.

The Fourth Edition introduces expanded Radiology sections with over 40 new radiographs, CTs, and MRIs; a more dissectional approach to the head and neck region that places neck anatomy before that of the head, reflecting the way most students dissect; additional images and tables detailing the challenging anatomy of the peritoneal cavity, inguinal region, and infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossae; and nearly 30 new clinical boxes focusing on function, pathology, diagnostic techniques, anatomic variation, and more.

Anne M. Gilroy is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Radiology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Brian R. MacPherson is Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. Jamie C. Wikenheiser is Associate Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at UC Irvine School of Medicine. Their editorial stewardship, combined with the masterful illustrations of Markus Voll and Karl Wesker, makes this atlas an essential reference for anyone pursuing a career in medicine, surgery, or the health sciences.
