Synopsis:

This atlas presents new pictorial coverage of the whole of clinical medicine. Designed to stand alone or to act as a colour companion to the major medical textbooks, its organization and range of coverage follows that of the standard texts of medicine. Numerous colour illustrations highlight the clinical signs of all major medical disorders and the clinical illustrations are accompanied by radiological, ultrasound, endoscopic and other images whenever this adds to the clinical usefulness of the book. Each chapter starts with an illustrated guide to symptoms, signs and investigations before providing a systematic coverage of common and rare disorders. Used alongside one of the standard medical textbooks it aims to give a view and understanding of clinical medicine.
