Elbow Joint and Cubital Fossa

An anatomical atlas available in electronic format, this third disc of the second volume covers the anatomy of the Upper Limb, which contains the Shoulder Joint & Axilla and the Hand & Wrist. It also offers correlative images from CT, MRI and histology, and enables medical professionals to explore the structures of the proximal radioulnar joints.

"Elbow Joint & Cubital Fossa" is the third 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 covers the anatomy of the Upper Limb, which, next to the Elbow Joint & Cubital Fossa, contains the Shoulder Joint & Axilla and the Hand & Wrist. "Elbow Joint & Cubital Fossa" 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 hand surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, traumatologists, general and orthopedic surgeons, radiologists, anatomists and neurosurgeons - to explore interactively the major structures of the humeroulnar, humeroradial and proximal radioulnar joints, the common flexor and extensor attachments, the detailed topography of deep and superficial radial, median and ulnar nerves, and the brachial artery and collateral vessels. You will be able to trace the major cubital nerves and blood vessels as they pass the elbow joint, and follow the path of ulnar and median nerves. It provides a unique view of structures, to be studied in the three cardinal planes.
"Elbow Joint & Cubital Fossa" also includes Mallory-Cason stained histological images in the axial plane from the same elbow joint and cubital fossa region. 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 (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. You can also travel step-wise through the images. Labels are available in English and according to the latest Nomina Anatomica. Many features included in the disc - such as "split screen" mode, "zoom" function, labelling in the "zoom" function, structure names in English - are the result of continuous market research and user feedback.
