"Cross-sectional Atlas of the Brain" provides for the first time a
set of high-resolution color cross-sections of the human brain (six
times higher than that of the only complete data set available to
date), each image accompanied by state-of-the-art MRI and CT scans
of the same specimen. The sections were made at an interval of 147
micrometers of frozen tissue, virtually artifact free, with the
blood vessels filled at sub-millimeter level. The more than two
hundred detailed and fully annotated images in this atlas provide a
complete body of reference to the gross anatomy of the brain. The
accompanying line drawings of these images provide a roadmap for
easy orientation.
The unparalleled resolution of the images also made it possible
to derive cross-sections of the same specimen in all standard
orientations--sagittal, coronal, and axial--through multi-planar
computer-aided reformatting. This feature, which eliminates
inter-subject variability, has never before been available in an
anatomical atlas and makes the atlas especially useful for
identifying and following anatomical structures in each plane.
About the Companion DVD
(View a sample in PDF format)
While the book itself contains 93 images (44 axial, 28 coronal,
and 21 sagittal), the DVD contains the complete series of 1,481
axial images from one anatomic specimen from which the 44 axial
images in the book were selected. These images were made at a
resolution of 1525x1146 or 147 m/pixel with a digital camera. The
axial images are accompanied by 1,528 sagittal and 1,146 coronal
images that were made by reformatting and reslicing the axial
images. By placing these images side-by-side-by-side the DVD allows
the user tosee a particular region of the brain in all three
orientations-axial, sagittal and coronal-simultaneously. These
images are further accompanied by radiologic data. The DVD also
allows the user to view a synchronized slide show of the images in
all three planes. Images on the DVD that also appear in the book
are highlighted with a blue background.
"Cross-sectional Atlas of the Brain" will be an essential
reference for neuroscientists and clinicians (neurologists,
radiologists, and neurosurgeons).
