In this atlas anatomical slices of the knee region are studied in the three fundamental spatial planes: frontal, sagittal, and horizontal; furthermore the corresponding views obtained by computed tomography of the same anatomical specimens, the equivalent horizontal CT views of the knee region alive and magnetic resonance images of the knee alive observed at the same levels in the same spatial planes are depicted.
