This companion resource to Gray's Anatomy for Students presents a vivid, visual depiction of anatomical structures. It demonstrates their correlation with appropriate clinical images and surface anatomy - essential for proper identification in the dissection lab and successful preparation for course exams. Clinically focused, consistently and clearly illustrated throughout, and logically organised...Gray's Atlas of Anatomy makes it easier to master the essential anatomy knowledge you need for exams and dissection labs.

• Learn anatomy in a logical fashion by following an approach that in many cases progresses from a superficial to a deep orientation in logical progression.

Great mixture of clinical medicine and gross anatomy
This book combines great illustrations with the appropriate clinical imaging(be it x-ray, MRI or whatever) to understand the relationships between the imaging and the underlying gross anatomy. A great resource whether you are studying for gross anatomy class, your USMLE Step1 exam, or brushing up on your anatomy while on the wards.

An Extraordinary Reference
A remarkable tool and extraordinary reference for anyone interested in studying, practicing, or teaching somatic education. As a GUILD CERTIFIED FELDENKRAIS PRACTITIONERcm, I found the surface anatomy pages particularly invaluable. The extraordinary illustrations on these pages enable one to view in precise detail the relationship between the surface landmarks of the body such the chest and shoulders and the specific bones which lie under these areas. Being able to view such a relationship is extremely helpful in my work. Indeed, these surface anatomy pages as well as the CT, MRI and x-ray images in Gray's Atlas of Anatomy provide a very clear and vivid idea of what lies beneath...
