Preface

This book presents the basic anatomy needed to interpret modern sec-tional images.In making a diagnosis from sectional images, even experienced diagnos-ticians must adapt their thinking to the sectional portrayal of anatomicfeatures. The Pocket Atlas of Sectional Anatomy aims to facilitate thisprocess by presenting the two modalities that have the greatest practicalimportance in modern sectional imaging: computed tomography andmagnetic resonance imaging.The importance of these modalities rests partly on their high resolution.Somany of the images were produced with 3-tesla instruments.Wewishto express our gratitude to the manufacturers, Siemens and Philips.We have attempted to provide vivid, comprehensive coverage of sectio-nal anatomic details while still making the book compact and easy to use.The four-color illustrations were considered an essential part of this goalto maintain clarity despite the quantity of information.The contents of the three volumes (I: Head and Neck, II: Chest andAbdomen, and III: Musculoskeletal System), which comprise a unit,follow a strict format in which each CT or MR image is accompanied bya correlative color diagram and a reduced-scale schematic drawingindicating the level of the section. This format conveys maximum infor-mation in a minimum of space.All the images were obtained in patients or volunteers. We wish toexpress our special gratitude for the production of the images to ourradiolologic technologists, Monika Baumann, Silke Koehl, Sabine Mattil,Stefanie Mueller, Heike Philippi, Brigitte Schild, and Petra Weber, as wellas to Birgit Reuter andMarion Hellinger from the Siemensmanufacturingcenter. We sincerely thank our fellow physicians, Nadine Dillinger, HeikeRingling, Sigrid Roth, and especially Simone Zenner, for their helpfuldiscussions and suggestions.
