Durabl e and sturdy - The quality of ‘Netter’s Anatomy Flash Cards 4th Edition’ is not only evident in its content, but it is also reflected in the quality of the cards themselves. They are laminated and feel extremely sturdy, surviving any coffee spills during those exhausting mornings before exams and during those long commutes when they are shoved in your bag. Frank H. Netter was both a physician and an artist. He was born in New York and studied at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League. He went to New York University Medical College, as it was then called, interned at Bellevue Hospital, and joined the outpatient surgical service at Mt. Sinai Hospital. But there was more demand for his sable brush than for his scalpel, and he soon closed his practice to make medical illustrations full time. Hansen, J. T. (2006). Frank H. Netter, M.D. (1906-1991): The Artist and His Legacy. Clinical Anatomy 19 (6): 481-486. Presents world-renowned, superbly clear views of the human body from a clinical perspective, with paintings by Dr. Frank Netter as well as Dr. Carlos A. G. Machado, one of today’s foremost medical illustrators.In his work, Dr. Netter made pencil sketches, which he then copied, transferred, and painted to portray gross anatomy, microscopic anatomy, x-ray images, and drawings of patients. "I try to depict living patients whenever possible," Netter said. "After all, physicians do see patients, and we must remember we are treating whole human beings." I am pleased to introduce our latest Art in Science column, written by Francine Mary Netter and Gary Friedlaender. Francine Mary Netter is the author of Medicine’s Michelangelo: The Life & Art of Frank H. Netter, MD, a biography of her father, the renowned medical illustrator. Gary Friedlaender is the Chair of the Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation at Yale School of Medicine. Together, they will share observations from a fascinating vantage point: the interface of art and medicine. Published by Elsevier Saunders, ‘Netter’s Anatomy Flash Cards’ are quite a new addition to the realm of anatomy learning. The very first edition appeared only in 2002, to be exact, the time period when the real and enthusiastic drive to bring anatomy learning into the 21st century actually began. The fourth edition, which is the subject of this review, was published in 2014, and their format looks like this: During the time that Hunter was compiling his atlas, the Royal Librarian Richard Dalton rediscovered, in the collection at Windsor, the lost and unpublished Leonardo da Vinci anatomical drawings. As Hunter was a great collector of 15 th century art, Dalton may have shown them to Hunter, who in turn, may have modeled pictures in his atlas after those of the master [ 1, 4].

Illustration s are not realistic - Ok, Netter’s illustrations are definitely top-class, otherwise they wouldn’t be so popular. However, they mostly depict this utopic anatomic specimen that simply doesn’t exist anywhere in the world. A lot of times, there are huge discrepancies between the illustrations and cadaveric specimens. Many times, students cannot even find the structures in the locations they are indicated in by the images. A lot of medical schools carry out their anatomy exams by asking students to name and describe structures on a cadaver, so it’s a lot more common than you might think. Not only that, but even the colours don’t really match either. What does this mean? You need to get your hands on more textbooks, more resources, a cadaveric atlas, and much more, otherwise known as: additional expenses. Born in London, Henry Gray studied medicine and anatomy at St. George’s Hospital. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society at the young age of 25. His career progressed at St. Georges, from student to demonstrator of anatomy, to curator of the museum, and lecturer of anatomy. The pharmaceutical companies were making great discoveries, and medical knowledge was advancing rapidly. Early in his career as a medical illustrator Netter created pictures published by several different companies, including Armour Laboratories, Winthrop Chemical Company, and Pfizer & Co. But it was the Ciba Pharmaceutical Company, seeking to provide a service to the medical community by publishing medical educational materials, that became Frank Netter’s greatest patron. Between 1949 and 1991, Ciba published 15 full color atlases, now known as the Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations, depicting the human organism in health and disease; more than 200 monographs under the title Clinical Symposia and featuring his pictures; as well as his Atlas of Human Anatomy, what Netter called his “Sistine Chapel,” and the best-selling anatomy atlas in the world. Features new nerve tables devoted to the cranial nerves and the nerves of the cervical, brachial, and lumbosacral plexuses.

The vast bulk of Netter's illustrations were produced for and owned by CIBA Pharmaceutical Company and its successor, CIBA-Geigy, which has since merged with Sandoz Laboratories to become Novartis. In June 2000, Novartis sold its interest in Netter's works to MediMedia USA's subsidiary Icon Learning Systems, which in turn has sold the portfolio to Elsevier, which continues to make his work available in various formats. His Atlas of Human Anatomy and other atlases have become a staple of medical education.

Cardiologist Carlos Machado first discovered Frank Netter’s celebrated medical illustrations at six-year-old. Inspired by his work, he has carried the torch and worked as a valuable contributor to “The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations.” Special Collections Malloch Room Newsletter 2" (PDF), New York Academy of Medicine , retrieved 2014-03-01 [ permanent dead link] Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy: A Systems Approach—Same content as the classic regional approach, but organized by organ systems.Being as small as your palm makes them confusing, unclear, and frustrating when trying to distinguish the details
