Zusammenfassung
The Atlas of the Visible Human Male reference text completely catalogs the internal human male in a way never before possible. The latest in high definition computers were used to compile cuts taken from one cadaver into three different perspectives: transverse, coronal, and sagittal. It is a visually compelling and scientifically precise collection of nearly 3,000 full color images. Victor M. Spitzer, Ph.D. and David G. Whitlock M.D., Ph.D., who were commissioned by the National Library of Medicine of The National Institutes of Health to make the cuts and compile the images, provide illustrated commentary about how their team obtained, prepared, and captured the images for this unique resource. This text is an invaluable resource for professionals, students, and anyone interested in the fascinating detail of the human body.

Doody's Book Review
This atlas contains the entire dataset for the Visible Human Male, using original images digitized at the University of Colorado for the project funded through the National Library of Medicine (NIH). The atlas is a natural extension of the project that, because of its scope, has become an internationally used resource for researchers, educators, medical professionals, and the general public. Images from the dataset are available from several web sites on the Internet, and developers around the world are licensed to use the data for increasing numbers of applications involving 3-dimensional reconstruction of the images and computerized simulations of medical procedures. The anatomical detail in the images and the ability to manipulate the images using computer technologies provide exciting new educational opportunities. Anyone using the Visible Human images, from the lay person to the health professional, will want to refer to the labeled images in this atlas. The atlas is divided int o three major sections containing images from transverse sections; reconstructed images in coronal sections; and reconstructed images in sagittal sections. Every 12th to 16th transverse section is labeled in detail with smaller images of the intervening serial sections on the corresponding face pages. Sagittal and coronal sections have a similar format. An introductory chapter provides interesting accounts of the history of the project and the techniques used to accomplish the task. The last section contains examples of how the data from the Visible Human are being utilized. CT scans and MR images are not included in the atlas. If you are using the Visible Human images, as a student, teacher, or a developer of applications, you will find this atlas extremely useful as a reference. John A. McNulty, PhD(Loyola University Medical Center). Copyright 2001, Doody Publishing
Choice-Rezension
Anyone with any degree of interest (from cursory to professional) in human anatomy will find something of awe and fascination in this atlas. For the project, sponsored by the National Library of Medicine, traditional X-rays and CT (computerized tomography) scans were made of a human male cadaver to visualize the skeleton, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans to visualize soft tissue. The cadaver was then frozen and cut into 1,878 transverse slices, each one millimeter thick, in sequence from the top of the skull to the bottoms of the feet. Photographs were taken of each body slice. Data generated by these procedures was entered into a computer to allow for various kinds of manipulation, including three-dimensional imaging. The first section of the atlas contains the photographs of the transverse sections, arranged 12 to each right-hand page, with a single labeled photograph on each left hand page. The second and third parts contain images (computer generated from the transverse sections) of the cadaver in coronal sections (vertical planes running from front to back) and in sagittal sections (vertical planes running from side to side). Simply superb, and therefore most highly recommended. All levels. R. S. Kowalczyk; North Central Michigan College
