• Detailed dissection descriptions in the organ system chapters provide step-by-step guidance with even the most difficult technical aspects of autopsy performance
• Approximately 1,500 high-quality, carefully annotated color images provide important clinical and diagnostic information
• Chapters covering every system and expanded sections with key clinical information help the pathologist perform the most comprehensive evaluations
• Case presentation highlights important aspects of reporting that impact clinicians as well as next of kin
