Introduction to Sectional Anatomy
Introduction to Sectional Anatomy Books
Product Description
Because thwart-sectional anatomy is at the very foundation of successful imaging, this new learning resource is rich in features making it simpler for students to learn, identify, and recall anatomic structures in thwart-section. All body part chapters include an anatomical overview that provides a review of the relationship between the structures of that province. Sectional anatomy is described through the use of labeled computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images.

Like others have said “there must be a better textbook out there”
The descriptions go from elementary to MD level. Most of the 2D drawings are trying to get an thought of where parts are located in a real 3D world.
This book doesn’t do it for me or most of my other classmates.

This book gives you the points of interest that you need to know, without going overboard. It is not overwhelming like some others seem to be. If you are studying CT, then I would urge this book. It is a small pricey, but worth it.

Very trying to correlate the line drawings with the blown-up grayscale CT slices, which just don’t seem to look the same as the real thing. The Sagittal MR slices in chapter 2 are exceptionally trying for the proposed audience to follow.
Factual and typographical errors occur throughout this text, such as identifying the vertebral foramen as the trachea on page 55.
It seems like there may possibly have been a better effort to develop the reader’s understanding of 3D anatomy, rather than the brief review of freshman anatomy that is given.
Instructors, please don’t inflict this torture on your students.

I was required to use Mr. Madden’s book and workbook for a sectional anatomy class I took for a medical program. This may possibly be a pretty excellent book, but misses the mark for several reasons:
1. Mislabeling. Many structures are just plain labeled incorrect, sometimes egregiously incorrect, such as vein for trachea, etc.
2. Incomplete labeling. For example, in a section where location and identification of common carotids is hugely vital, Mr. Madden marks either one side of the image only or something like “int/ext common carotid” without distinguishing which is which. But, knowing which is which is vital!
3. Text boxes. Ordinarily Mr. Madden notes salient features in the text boxes on the facing plates to the CT or MR. But, even when he stresses vital anatomical landmarks, he DOES NOT LABEL them on the diagram accompanying the image. The student reads the words but has no way to identify the structure. This is pointless!
4. Lack of correlation: Many times, structures just “appear” on a plate with no connection to their partial appearance on preceding or later plates; yet it is this exact skill that is the foundation of an understanding of sectional anatomy.
5. Workbook: At no time in the workbook does Mr. Madden show a simple schematic indicating the plane of section. This is vital for reference and, again, for correlation.
6. Erroneous terms: There are erroneous, mistyped, misedited, or just plain invented medical terms, such as “optic chiasma” (should be chiasm) and “lenticular nucleus” (should be lentiform).
This book seems like a work in progress but no one is improving it. Why not? For the money, the medical student should get a lot more. Anyone with suggestions of a better book (other than Moller/Reif’s atlases of sectional anatomy, which are simple and elegant, but may possibly use textual explanations for the beginner), please e-mail me. Perhaps future editions of this book will show some needed corrections.
