This pocket atlas illustrates the sectional anatomy of the head and neck through computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images and diagrams in two-page spreads. This edition has new cranial CT sequences of the axial and coronal temporal bone; an expanded MR imaging section with new 3-Tesla MR images of the temporal lobe and hippocampus, basilar artery, cranial nerves, cavernous sinus, and other areas; and new arterial MR angiography sequences of the neck and additional larynx images. Many of the older images have been replaced, and many of the new images were produced with 3-Tesla scanners and include a magnified view with additional labels.
