The perfect up-to-date imaging guide for a complete and 3-dimensional understanding of applied human anatomy Imaging is ever more integral to anatomy education and throughout modern medicine. Building on the success of previous editions, this fully revised sixth edition provides a superb foundation for understanding applied human anatomy, offering a complete view of the structures and relationships within the whole body, using the very latest imaging techniques. All relevant imaging modalities are included, from plain radiographs to more advanced imaging of ultrasound, CT, MRI, functional imaging and angiography. Coverage is further enhanced by a carefully selected range of BONUS electronic content, including clinical photos and cases, ultrasound videos, labelled radiograph 'slidelines', cross-sectional imaging stacks and test-yourself materials. Uniquely, key syllabus image sets are now highlighted throughout to aid efficient study, as well as the most common, clinically important anatomical variants that you should be aware of. This superb package is ideally suited to the needs of medical students, as well as radiologists, radiographers and surgeons in training. It will also prove invaluable to the range of other students and professionals who require a clear, accurate, view of anatomy in current practice.

und Handbuchern zu einer gesonderten Behandlung gefiihrt haben: Einmal gibt es Veranderungen der Knochen und Gelenke, die fast nur an der Wirbelsaule auftreten. Eine zweite, sehr groBe Gruppe von Erkrankungen erhii.lt, wenn im Achsenskelet lokalisiert, ein ganz besonderes pathologisches und klinisches Ge- prage. Und endlich kennen wir drittens generalisierte Krankheiten, die an der Wirbelsaule zuerst oder wenigstens friihzeitig auftreten und zudem mit dem Rontgenverfahren leicht sichtbar gemacht werden konnen. lch glaube kaum, daB es pathologische Prozesse gibt, die nicht in eine dieser drei Gruppen fallen; selbst generalisierte Tumormetastasen haben eine ganz besondere Bedeutung. Das sind die Griinde, die mich bewogen, seit anderthalbem J ahrzehnt die einzelnen Bausteine zu der vorliegenden Arbeit zusammenzutragen. Es sind auch die Griinde, die ich zur Rechtfertigung vorzubringen habe, wenn ich mein Vor- haben trotz dem Erscheinen des ausgezeichneten Buches von SIMONS nicht auf- gegeben habe. Und es mogen zum Teil auch die Grunde ffir den Verlag gewesen sein, wenn er vor den Anstrengungen zur Herausgabe des Buches in ernstester Zeit nicht zurUckgeschreckt ist.

Kathrin Stauffer—a biochemist and seasoned body psychotherapist—takes a look at organ systems of the human body to illuminate the connections between body and mind, exploring the body as both the ground of our physical experience and as a metaphor for our emotional life. Beginning with a discussion of the basic building blocks of the body, cells and molecules, Stauffer works through the body system by system, showing through clinical case examples that an understanding of each system can greatly enhance the art of psychotherapy: The Central Nervous System, The Skeletal Musculature, The Respiratory System, The Skin, The Digestive System, Fluids and Connective Tissue, The Endocrine System, The Reproductive System, and The Respiratory System. Throughout, Stauffer presents human anatomy and physiology in clear, simple terms, with facts selected for interest and relevance to psychotherapists. Many links are made between physical and psychological function to give readers a taste of how body psychotherapists work in clinical practice to integrate body and mind, and thus help their clients become more whole. Anatomy & Physiology for Psychotherapists invites psychotherapists, complementary therapists, and anyone else interested in the mind/body connection to engage with the physical body to bring more depth into their therapeutic work.

Die Aufteilung der Rontgendiagnostik in Einzelgebiete ist nicht nUf aus didaktischen Griinden eine Notwendigkeit. Praktisch weit wichtiger ist die Unter teilung nach Gesichtspunkten der Methode selbst. Von der Herstellung bis zur Registratur der Bilder steht ein geometrisches Prinzip im Vordergrund, das schlieBlich zwangslaufig in die Einteilung des rontgendiagnostischen Materials in Korperregionen einmiindet. Dadurch wird eine anatomische Einteilung, zum Beispiel nach Organsystemen, oder eine pathologisch-anatomische Ordnung, zum Beispiel nach Krankheitsgruppen, durchkreuzt. In jedem Einzelgebiet treten dann die Prinzipien dieser Ordnungsstruktur in drei Richtungen - pathologische, atiologische, topographisehe - in Wettstreit, und es ist oft schwierig, die niitz lichste und iibersiehtliehste Ordnung zu treffen. 1m allgemeinen dominiert ein Prinzip, das dem Vorgehen der topographischen Anatomic entspricht. Dcr didaktische Gesichtspunkt freilich verlangt meistens eine Abweichung von der Topographie und eine Riickkehr zur systematisehen Einteilung naeh Organ systemen. So wird das ganze Gebiet in zwei groBe Gruppen gegliedert - Skelet system und innere Organe. Das Skelyt des Stammes, die Wirbelsaule, weist als Objekt der Rontgen untersuchung einige Besonderheiten auf. Die Wirbelsaule ist jener Teil des Skelets, der am tiefsten in groBe Muskelmassen eingebettet ist. Die Uber sehiehten sind derart machtig, daB die rontgenologische Darstellung der Wirbel saule dadurch zu den sehwierigsten Problemen des Rontgenverfahrens wird. Klinisch ist die Wirbelsaule aus den gleiehen Griinden der sehleehtest zugang liehe Skeletteil."
