This book is a sectional atlas and contains large color and black-and-white photographs. It is divided into correlative and noncorrelative parts. The first part is a heroic effort to correlate different methods of obtaining sectional images of the head and neck. These sectional images, taken in the sagittal and coronal planes, consist of multidirectional tomographs, computer tomographs, and frozen whole specimens milled to show surfaces that match the plane of section and level of the tomographs. Thus, the first part is intended as an aid in the interpretation of advanced radiographic imaging techniques. The aid is provided by black-and-white (labeled) and color (unlabeled) photographs of surfaces from frozen specimens.

The radiographic "sectioning" and the frozen sectional imaging were done on identical specimens to maximize the correlation between the anatomy and the radiography. This self-imposed restriction introduces, as the authors point out, a series of complications and compromises in the . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
