DESCRIPTION
Wintrobe's Atlas of Clinical Hematology
provides physicians with a pictorial
guide to the increasingly complex field of diagnostic hematology. The atlas
combines a concise clinically oriented writing style with approximately
600 high-resolution digital images. Many of the illustrations in the current
edition of Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology have been combined with those
from the author's own files. The book will enable readers to "see" and readily
comprehend diseased tissues and understand the complex assays routinely used in the care of patients with
hematological diseases.The atlas includes sets of large, brilliantly sharp, color-balanced photomicrographs of
"pertinent diagnostic fields" taken through a microscope equipped with high aperture objectives and an ultra
high-resolution camera. The book and companion website are designed with many color pictures, diagrams,
and tables to encourage readers to use "algorithmic" approaches to establishing diagnoses.The book features
a comprehensive pictorial collection of diseases, including all of the major diseases outlined in the Wintrobe
text and all of the major hematolymphoid disorders recognized by the World Health Organization. Two
complementary formats allow readers to approach hematological diseases from either the perspective of
classical disease categorization that mirrors the format of Wintrobe's text, or by an image-directed approach
that is based upon morphological pattern recognition in diseased tissues.A companion website includes
the fully searchable text, images that can be viewed using virtual microscopy with a zoom feature, and
approximately 80 minutes of instructional video complete with full audio.
