“…Interpreting the images produced by each new protocol required a thorough knowledge of cadaveric anatomy and surface (living) anatomy. In the early 1970s, CT scanning and MRI revealed levels of anatomical detail acquired non-invasively that had previously been seen only on the pages of atlases of frozen, sectioned cadavers (Braune, 1867(Braune, -1872(Braune, , 1877Lichterman, 2008). Today, those details can be inspected in varying projections in multiplanar reformations (MPRs), maximum intensity projections (MIP), and volume-rendered images acquired from multidetector CT (MDCT) scans (e.g.…”

“…Gray's preface to the first edition caught the essence of the new thinking, emphasising that, for medical practitioners, anatomy was a science with a clinical application … This Work is intended to furnish the Student and Practitioner with an accurate view of the Anatomy of the Human Body, and more especially the application of this science to Practical Surgery (Gray ). In the latter part of the 19th century, as developments in antisepsis (Lister, ), anaesthesia (1846) (Robinson & Toledo, ) and haemostasis ushered in the previously unimaginable prospect of pain‐free, elective surgery, and successful operations reflected a surgeon's skill rather than his speed, the importance of anatomical knowledge in minimising intra‐operative iatrogenic injuries became a reality: … In order that the observer, by examining [the drawings] , may avoid mistakes on the living body… The exact position and relations of the structures which must be divided or avoided in the course of an operation are indicated … (Braune, ). This self‐evident truth had been expressed by almost every author of an anatomical text since the ancient Greeks, but until now opportunities for its enactment had been relatively limited.…”

This brief history of topographical anatomy begins with Egyptian medical papyri and the works known collectively as the Greco-Arabian canon, the time line then moves on to the excitement of discovery that characterised the Renaissance, the increasing regulatory and legislative frameworks introduced in the 18th and 19th centuries, and ends with a consideration of the impact of technology that epitomises the period from the late 19th century to the present day. This paper is based on a lecture I gave at the Winter Meeting of the Anatomical Society in Cambridge in December 2015, when I was awarded the Anatomical Society Medal.

Anatomical planes: Are we teaching accurate surface anatomy?

et al. 2012

Anatomical planes used in clinical practice and teaching anatomy are largely derived from cadaver studies. Numerous inconsistencies in clinically important surface markings exist between and within anatomical reference texts. The aim of this study was to reassess the accuracy of common anatomical planes in vivo using computed tomographic (CT) imaging. CT scans of the trunk in supine adults at end tidal inspiration were analyzed by dual consensus reporting to determine the anatomy of five anatomical planes: sternal angle, transpyloric, subcostal, supracristal, and the plane of the pubic crest. Patients with kyphosis, scoliosis, or abnormal lordosis, distorting space-occupying lesions, or visceromegaly were excluded. Among 153 thoracic CT scans (mean age 63 years, 53% female), the sternal angle was most common at T4 (females) or T4/5 (males) vertebral level, and the tracheal bifurcation, aortic arch, and pulmonary trunk were most often below this plane. In 108 abdominal CT scans (mean age 60 years, 59% female), the subcostal and supracristal planes were most often at L2 (58%) and L4 (69%), respectively. In 52 thoracoabdominal CT scans (mean age 61 years, 56% female), the transpyloric plane was between lower L1 and upper L2 (75%); in this plane were the superior mesenteric artery (56%), formation of the portal vein (53%), tip of the ninth rib (60%), and the left renal hilum (54%), but the right renal hilum and gallbladder fundus were more often below. The surface anatomy of anatomical planes needs revising in the light of results from living subjects using modern imaging techniques.
