Preface
It was the visual sciences in ancient Greece that provided the basis for all future research: the
Q e o r i a (theoria), the serious observation of images and appearances. It applied to all natural
sciences, including, of course, ancient medicine. Without theoria, there would have been no
hypothesis, no diagnosis, and no treatment or cure.
Theoria in today’s medicine essentially refers to the modern tools of visual sciences, that is,
all means of diagnostic imaging and pathology. Thus, this atlas returns to the roots of medicine
by combining observations in diagnostic imaging and anatomic pathology to identify essential
diseases for our students and trainees in medicine.
Although theoria originally focused on all the manifestations of disease, including bio-
chemical, microbiological, and functional appearances, time and space force us to limit this
atlas to presenting diseases by their ultimate visual expression.
A solid knowledge of these diseases still represents the essential requirement for all subse-
quent investigations that may lead to their diagnosis and treatment. Thus, the study of this atlas
is recommended for all medical students and other undergraduate health science students, as
well as medical residents, fellows, and other postgraduate trainees, regardless of the specialty
they will practice later. After all, the visual images are what stick in one’s mind and remind us
what a patient in our care may be experiencing.
Atlas of Anatomic Pathology with Imaging: A Correlative Diagnostic Companion is organized
so it serves as an ideal companion to, not a replacement for, common textbooks in medicine. The
chapters follow the usual division into organ systems, including an initial chapter on general topics
of anatomic pathology and diagnostic imaging (Chap. 1 ). The rest of the book presents examples
of diagnostic imaging and anatomic pathology of diseases of the cardiovascular system (Chap. 2 );
respiratory system (Chap. 3 ); gastrointestinal tract (Chap. 4 ) ; liver, biliary system, and exocrine
pancreas (Chap. 5 ); genitourinary system (Chap. 6 ) ; breast and female genital tract (Chap. 7 );
hematopoietic and lymphatic tissues (Chap. 8 ) ; bones and soft tissues (Chap. 9 ); skin and adnexa
(Chap. 1 0 ); endocrine system (Chap. 1 1 ); ear, nose, and throat (Chap. 1 2 ); dental and orofacial
structures (Chap. 1 3 ); central and peripheral nervous system (Chap. 1 4 ); and the eye (Chap. 15 ).
Each chapter is written by experts with many years of combined clinical and academic experience
and a large collection of photographic documentation of diseases and teaching slides. We hope to
pass on to following generations of young colleagues this unique resource of visual diagnostics, as
a decline in autopsies will make many images such as these unavailable in the future.
We are most grateful to Springer staff in London and Philadelphia for providing us with this
excellent opportunity to publicize the combined knowledge of our professional lives. It was a great
pleasure to work with Ms. Melissa Morton, Ms. Sarah Cody, Ms. Georgette Forgione, and
Ms. Madona Samuel. Without their understanding support, our work probably would not have been
accomplished. Last but not least, we gratefully recognize the gracious support of Springer
Science + Business Media LLC and Humana Press in allowing us to use some of the fi g ures from
SpringerImages.com for our atlas.
