rad86 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thinking abt getting an anatomy atlas. Which one is the most recommended out there? What creteria do you use to judge how one is better than another (e.g. real photographs vs. drawings)? Also, is it a must-have for all med students?

Madz25 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Netters! The pictures are all hand-drawn but it's an amazing atlas. I really liked it. I think most med schools use Netters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vip_138 Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I had an atlas that had pictures and drawings beside them which was decent ... I can't remember the name tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 it varies from person to person. I use Grant's because it was a gift. Most people in my class use Netter's, some use Moses, some use Rohen, and some use Netter. It all varies and depends on your learning style.

Ollie Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 I used Netter's. I first bought Grant's but I returned it. For exam studying I would take Rohen out of the library so I could quiz myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anna8 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Posting a new question on an old thread, Have you guys heard of McMinn's A Colour Atlas of Human Anatomy? I'm trying to pick between this one and Netter's. I heard that McMinn's had actual pictures so I thought that it would be more helpful than Netter's. Thoughts?

I think it is comparable to Rohen's but I haven't done a side-by-side comparison. I found it supplements Netter's well, especially for the bell-ringers. However, I find learning the basics easier from Netters (or Grant's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a41 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 I had both a Rohen (purchased) and a Netter's (free from AMSA) and I definitely used the Netter's more often. The pictures in Rohen are great and all, but in terms of preparing for the practical nothing beats spending time in the lab and looking at other people's dissections (especially when they suck, but are going to be tagged anyways).

leviathan Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I used the electronic version of Netter's and loved it. Super easy to search up any structure when you're looking for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boo Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 i've only used netter's for anatomy as well as the electronic version so i can't really compare it to anything else. it's pretty good. as leviathan has said, the electronic version is really easy to use when searching for a particular structure. the printed atlas is well organized as well.

peachy Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I think the Thieme Atlas of Anatomy series is amazing.I'm with you. I have just the "General Anatomy and MSK" volume which I bought because I saw it on sale on bookcloseouts.com for pretty cheap, and it has incredible drawings. At some point I plan to get the general one -- waaay nicer than Netter and Rohen that I used back in first year, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cnussey Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Not sure if it's useful for med school...but the anatomy atlas I used for HKR Human Anatomy was Martini's--I had no problems with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 After 2nd year now.. I used Rohen for Head & Neck anatomy because it has the cadaver pictures. Found it really useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Which anatomy book have you found to be the most useful? I know each has pros and cons, but it would be good to get the perspective from people who have actually had to use them. It's hard to choose just from flipping from them at the bookstore, especially given that we don't know what is required in the classes... for example, obviously some are only pics, some have a bit of writing, some have a lot, some have real cadaver dissection pics, some have supplementary clinical examples, etc... i just don't know which of these are most useful... I know that Gray's has a lot of writing, Rohen's has cadaver pics, Netters is all pics, Grant's is pics with a bit of writing... but I'm wondering how useful each is in the context of med school anatomy... it seems that a lot of people use netters... so are the exaplanations in anatomy books not important (i.e. you learn them elsewhere anyways)? is pictures + labels all you need in a book? Or did some people find that the one's heavier in writing (i.e. Gray's) were more useful in understanding?... or maybe understanding isn't important to get from an anatomy book, and it is just used best for rote memorization? etc...

I bought Netters and am looking to supplement with an additional book, either grants or rohens (hopefully one that is cadaver based). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dongzhuo Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Rohen's all the way. In my humble opinion, 2 hours of concentrated study of Rohen's beats all the gross labs added together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
