A mainstay for pathology residents, Autopsy Pathology is designed with a uniquely combined manual and atlas format that presents today''s most complete coverage of performing, interpreting, and reporting post-mortem examinations. This lasting and useful medical reference book offers a practical, step-by-step approach to discussing not only the basics of the specialty, but the performance of specialized autopsy procedures as well.- Material is divided into two sections for ease of use: a manual covering specific autopsy procedures, biosafety, generation of autopsy reports, preparation of death certificates, and other essential subjects; and an atlas, organized by organ system, which captures the appearance of the complete spectrum of autopsy findings.- Covers forensic pathology in a chapter introducing the subspecialty.- Offers expanded coverage of microscopic anatomy.- Includes a chapter on performing special dissection procedures that may not be covered during a typical residency.- Examines important techniques, such as autopsy photography and radiology, microscopic examination, supplemental laboratory studies, and other investigative approaches.- Addresses the latest legal, social, and ethical issues relating to autopsies, as well as quality improvement and assurance.- Presents more than 600 full-color photographs depicting common gross and microscopic autopsy findings for every part of the body.- Correlates pathologic findings with their clinical causes to enhance diagnostic accuracy.- Improved images in the Atlas section provide greater visual understanding.- Additional online features include dissection videos demonstrating autopsy techniques; downloadable, commonly used forms for autopsy reports; and calculators for weights and measures.- Expert Consult eBook version included with purchase. This enhanced eBook experience offers access to all of the text, figures, images, videos, forms, calculators, and references from the book on a variety of devices.

This book brings together for the first-time two-dimensional echocardiograms of the heart with pathologic specimens or other imaging modalities such as computerized tomographic or magnetic resonance images in order to compare them. On activation the echocardiograms move in real-time and correlate with the heart specimens, providing echo-morphological interplay in a great number of commonly imaged congenital cardiac conditions. The complementary imaging modalities allow for greater appreciation, both of the features of the echocardiogram and of the morphological specimens.The atlas is designed for both the novice and the expert. This work is a treatise or an atlas rather than a complete textbook. It examines the correlations between morphologic images of congenital cardiac lesions to those made by cross-sectional echocardiography. It will be a reference useful to educators, parents, and physicians practicing in a variety of fields including pre-and postgraduate physicians in general or those in specific fields such as pediatrics, pediatric cardiology, cardiac anesthesiology, cardiac surgery, intensive care, radiology, pathology and even obstetricians practicing fetal ultrasound and the specialty of adult congenital heart disease.
