Medical illustration in anatomical variations
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomical Variations - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The history of anatomic variations is as old as the history of anatomy. Vesalius, considered the initiator of the modern age of the anatomy, has done many dissections on human body. Since anatomical variations are not common, they should be well understood and medical illustration is a good way to succeed this goal.
