Synopsis
The Micro-Tomographic Atlas of the Mouse Skeleton provides a unique systematic description of all calcified components of the mouse. It includes about 200 high resolution, two and three dimensional m CT images of the exterior and interiors of all bones and joints. In addition, the spatial relationship of bones within complex skeletal units is also described. The images are accompanied by detailed explanatory text, thus highlighting special features and newly reported structures. The Atlas fulfils an emerging need for a comprehensive reference to assist both trained and in-training researchers.

Review
From the reviews:
"The format of the book is clearly defined and well organized by the authors. ... serve as an important visual reference for researchers using mouse models in skeletal biology research. The Micro-Tomographic Atlas of the Mouse Skeleton is a great elementary reference to any collection and wonderfully illustrates the tremendous power of micro-CT technology in the imaging of the rodent skeleton." (Steven M. Tommasini and Christopher Price, Journal of Mammalian Evolution, Vol. 16, 2009)

Micro-Tomographic Atlas of the Mouse Skeleton serves as an essential guide containing unique systematic description of all calcified components of the mouse. This detailed atlas fulfils an emerging need for high resolution anatomical details as mice become a standard laboratory animal in skeletal research and the use of m CT technology is rapidly increasing as a key analytical tool in the study of bone.
Key Features:
- Includes over 200 high resolution, two- and three dimensional m CT images of the exterior and interiors of all bones and joints
- Offers the spatial relationship of individual bones within complex skeletal units (e.g., skull, thorax, pelvis, extremities).
- All images are accompanied by detailed explanatory text that highlights special features and newly reported structures.
- Available for the first time in the Atlas:
- Detailed information on the micro-anatomy of the murine skeleton essential for the design of experiments and interpretation of results
- Comparative analyses on m CT-based morphometric parameters at the whole bone, cortical and trabecular levels including:
- Age differences (4-40 weeks)
- Gender differences
- Differences between main mouse strains (C57Bl/6J, SJL, C3H)
Micro-Tomographic Atlas of the Mouse Skeleton offers a practical, comprehensive desk reference for all scientists and students interested in skeletal biology.
