An invaluable resource for CPT(R) surgical coding with integrated
anatomical instructions and illustrations. No other book brings anatomic
and coding concepts together with the same degree of completeness and
educational value. This brand new publication from the AMA unites
annotated CPT surgical codes and descriptions with clinically
significant renderings by renowned medical illustrator, Frank H. Netter,
MD, to simplify the navigation through complex operative reports for CPT
code abstraction. This is an ideal tool to boost anatomical knowledge
within the context of CPT codes.

- More than 700 individual Netter illustrations paired with specific
code ranges to guide code selection
- Figure captions provide full descriptions about the anatomies and
procedures illustrated by the images to assist in code selection
- Unique feature! Coding Atlas presents additional information and
details of anatomy related to procedures within specific CPT code
ranges
- A comprehensive glossary of procedural and anatomical terms simplifies
complex terminology to promote further understanding
- Chapter openers deliver an overview of the anatomical system(s) to
