The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations: Digestive System Package , 2nd Edition

Description

This 3-book set provides a concise and highly visual approach to the basic sciences and clinical pathology of the digestive system. These books in The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations (the CIBA "Green Books") have been expanded and revised to capture current perspectives in gastroenterology, hepatology, and pancreatology - from normal anatomy and physiology through pathophysiology, diagnostics and treatment. Endoscopic, radiographic and pathologic images supplement the classic Netter illustrations, as well as new illustrations. These updated classics are ideal for students and health professionals seeking an easily accessible guide to the complete digestive tract.

Reviews

"As expected, the best features are the excellent, highly detailed, and colorful drawings by Dr. Netter, well known for his beautiful recreations of the human body… This is a nice addition to any physician's library and also could be helpful in explaining pathology to patients. Nothing can compare to the detailed drawings of Dr. Netter."

-Brenton Rogers, DO (Parkview Medical Center) for Doody's Review Service
