The knowledge that we have the opportunity today to gain thanks to medical atlases created many years ago makes it possible for physicians to diagnose pathology of development of bones, nerves and brain vessels. This is especially true for modern traumatologists, neurosurgeons. The knowledge gained helps to make an accurate diagnosis, perform complex operations, and determine appropriate treatment.
