Shoulder Joint and Axilla

Presents the first disc of the second volume of the anatomical atlas in electronic format. This volume comprises the anatomy of the Upper Limb. It offers more than 9,000 images of normal anatomy and 1,200 correlative images from CT, MRI, and histology, to enable medical professionals to explore interactively the structures in the shoulder region.

"Shoulder Joint and Axilla" is the first disc of the second volume of the most complete anatomical atlas available in electronic format - no printed medium can offer this amount of information. This volume comprises the anatomy of the Upper Limb, of which Hand and Wrist and Elbow Joint and Cubital Fossa will be the next discs. "Shoulder Joint and Axilla" offers you more than 9,000 images of normal anatomy and 1,200 correlative images from CT, MRI, and histology, and enables medical professionals - especially orthopedic surgeons, traumatologists, general surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, radiologists, anatomists and neurosurgeons - to explore interactively the structures in the shoulder region, for example, the glenohumeral joint and its surrounding and supporting tissues including capsule and rotator cuff, the adjoining bursae and ligaments, the axillary neurovascular bundle including the distal parts of the brachial plexus, and all infraclavicular branches of the brachial plexus. You will be able to trace the major brachial nerves back up to their origin, and vice versa. It provides a unique view of structures, to be studied in three different planes.
"Shoulder Joint and Axilla" also includes Mallory-Cason stained histological images in the axial plane from the same shoulder. All structures are displayed as continuous cross-sectional photographs in coronal, sagittal and axial directions, all within the same tissue block. Cross-sections can be magnified up to 4 times, and anatomy, CT, MRI and histology can be viewed in a "split-screen" mode. These sophisticated, high density images can be displayed as stills or video, while the structure names (over 20,000 labels in each viewing direction) can be displayed with a click, not only in the normal anatomy view, but also in the enlarged view. Labels are available in English and according to the latest Nomina Anatomica. Many features included in this disc "split-screen" mode, "zoom" function, and labelling in the "zoom" function, structure names in English - are the result of continuous market research and user feedback.
