Customer Reviews

Perfect Condition

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.

Great Service

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

Awesome for CT beginners and pros

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!

Sectional Anatomy and loving it

I am a professional speaker in cross sectional anatomy. I have used this book and the accompanying slides for years and I highly recommend it particularly if you need a review of anatomy. The images are clear and well labelled with very few ambiguities. There is also a smaller pocket study book available. Need to learn x-sectional anatomy? Get this book.

Helpful Guide for taking CT and MRI advanced certification

I'm an MRI/CT technologist, and have borrowed this book to study for the CT test. As an imaging professional, this was the most helpful of all the books geared towards cross sectional anatomy. I am now buying it in preparation for the MRI test, because it helped me so much the last time. The pictures are clear, the notes are to the point, and everything is shown in an orderly and easy to read manner. CT and MRI images are equally focused on, and the graphics are clear as to what they're indicating, unlike many other anatomy books. I highly recommend this book.
