Customer Rating: 

The Sectional Anatomy for imaging professionals, is a good text book for the knowledge of all sectional imaging of all the body. Specialty in the area of brain and nervous sistem. When I received the book, the book was in a perfect condition.

Customer Rating: 

Product was in excellent condition just like the seller said and I received the item in a timely fashion.

Customer Rating: 

Using this for a cross sectional anatomy class that is required for my Medical Physics program. It seems to be a decent book so far, only covering what I need. I'm not sure how the "imaging professionals" would view it, but I think it is very helpful.

Customer Rating: 

Has tons of true to life CT images, great descriptions, easy to follow. Also recommend obtaining the workbook that goes along with it. Together they help the understanding process faster and clearer. Don't even need to attend a class with these books!

This was the required text for my Sectional Anatomy course, as part of my radiography curriculum. I found the layout of the book disorganized and frustrating. I felt it would have been helpful and appropriate for the text to address the sequencing of CT/MRI images instead of showing a random shot here or there...I suppose that's difficult to do without a multimedia/interactive presentation, but I still had alot of trouble learning via this text. I found the abbreviated captions virtually useless and ill-concieved. It's one thing if you're tyring to quiz yourself and want a hint, but if you're trying to learn from scratch, it would have made much more sense seeing the long-hand terms written out in the columns so we know what we're looking at. Having to glance down at the caption and search for the abbreviation in question proved very distracting to the learning process. And the written text was...well, not enough text. Instead of offering helpful ways to differentiate and remember the many different body parts and structures, the text follows a very robotic "the A bone connects to the B bone which leads to the C artery and supplies the D organ...". I felt overwhelmed with similar-sounding descriptions and didn't take much away from the learning experience that wasn't lost in days. If I already had an understanding of cross-sectional anatomy before using this text, it may have served as a succinct review, but given the fact it is assigned to first-time X-sectional learners I felt it was too abstract and devoid of personality. If I decide to go into CT or MRI in the future, I plan on selling this book and doing a little research on finding the best and most current text available at the time. I can tell this one won't age well.
