GROSS ANATOMY/RADIOLOGY LIBRARY

The practice of medicine now requires physicians to understand and interpret digital images of body structure obtained by CT, MRI and ultrasound.  Imaging technology has made major advances in increasing resolution and flexibility in visualization and three-dimensional reconstruction of the human body.  The rapid expansion of digital data bases and systems has brought those images to the computers of doctors' offices   Interpretation of digital images requires detailed training in the anatomical sciences and is no longer limited to specialists. .

To address these issues, faculty of the Department of Anatomy and Pathology and the Department of Radiology have assembled a data base of images for study and review by medical students, faculty and health professionals.  The images below have been made accessible by being placed in PowerPoint files.  In many cases, images can be reviewed as a series in registration, permitting structures to be traced in successive sections.   

This library is organized in three sections.  The first section has PowerPoint files of radiographic images organized by body region.   The second part contains complete labeled CT and MRI series.  The third part has links to other websites that are particularly useful for review of Anatomy and Radiology.  This library is in the process of assembly and organization.   We welcome any inputs and donations of images.  Faculty can be contacted through the links provided.
