Review
"It is a book that can be of enormous value to radiographers, radiologists and medical students as it provides a very comprehensive guide to the anatomical interpretation of radiographs and scans." --Radiology Today (review from the previous edition)

Review
"The Imaging Atlas of Human Anatomy is amazing...Each anatomical area and functional system is displayed with the full range of modern imaging techniques...The software includes hundreds of detailed images and videos and is an extremely useful data bank of normal anatomy...The software is user-friendly, and the quality of images is excellent. Highly recommended." -NEJM review of last edition.

Excellent atlas
This atlas is the best imaging atlas I have encountered to date in a price range suitable for medical students. The illustrations are of superb quality, and cover a wide range of images, including CT scans, MRIs, angiograms, etc. The only real limitation of the atlas is that it does not cover any pathological anatomy. We have used the Barrett atlas for MRIs in the past, but will probably discontinue using it since the Weir text has very similar MRIs. We will continue using the Wicke text, but the Weir text has figures comparable to a fair number of the Wicke figures, in addition to having the best array of MRIs, CT scans, angiograms, etc.

Comprehensive
It is a good atlas for a trainee. It includes difficult part of body with a precise label. However, it is not easy to find the one that you want since there are plenty of labels. In addition, I think it is much better if there are few sentences to elicit the information concerning the radiological imaging like certain common normal variants that one could see in the radiological imaging

Excelent Medical School Resource
This is a great atlas that makes up where netters, sobotta and others lack, in a plethora of images esp CT and MRI. I do agree with others, that some explanation would certainly benefit this book, but this book labels just about every structure thats visible and is a great reference. I do agree that the images aren't the best or newest in this book, but for a student, it is worth buying to have. I used this book to teach myself to read scans and can now read images very very quickly. Very little ultrasound images tho, not a good book for that.
