This extraordinary new edition takes a major step forward to include surface anatomy and radiographic images to give a fuller, more integrated understanding of human anatomy.

 A fantastic resource July 23, 2008
Frank Netter, M.D. created approximately 20,000 paintings of the human body and provided countless medical students with an invaluable educational resource. He can be credited for teaching multiple generations of doctors worldwide. Although he is now deceased, his legacy continues to provide students with intricate knowledge that only a physician and gifted artist could have given. I am thrilled to have purchased what I consider an educational necessity for such a reasonable price.
Best Atlas July 21, 2008
As a medical student, purchasing a Netters Atlas is essential. I borrowed one during anatomy, but bought my own after the class so that I could always have it for referencing.
Netters= the Anatomy Bible June 30, 2008
As an Anatomy Masters student, I highly recommend Netters for anyone who is taking an advanced anatomy course especially graduate students and medical students. This book has wonderfully detailed pictures that aid in your studying, and the online Netters is riddled with study hints, image downloads and has really improved my study guide capabilities. This book may be a bit advanced for most undergraduate courses (there are cheaper ones out there with everything you need), but will definitely cover all the material you need to know.
 Good For Gross Anatomy June 16, 2008
This text has quality, picture that will help you understand gross anatomy. If you want a clinical atlas this is not the one for you. It does have the MRI's, CT etc. However, it does the the job for the student and helps for provide a greater understanding of gross anatomy.
Medicine student review June 14, 2008
It's got fully detailed and realistic drawings.Helps get your bearings on human anatomy and it's sections and layers helps you to get to know exactly what you need. Easy to understand beautifully drew. The 2006 edition includes new drawings from his "aprentices" specially Carlos Machado,and new clinical cases,x-rays,etc. if you intend to buy a netter, and you wonder if it's worth buying a 2004 you better save some money which you won't regret. It's easier to understand and its sections are better placed then sobotta's. But if you prefer real corpses pictures you might preffer yokochi's.
