As a translator, I use bilingual anatomical atlases as references. They can be quite useful in medical translation. It serves as a classified anatomy dictionary and its pictures and illustrations allow me to better conceptualize source texts.This book, Jintai kaibougaku, is certainly the cheapest of the atlases I have looked at.As a translator, I find the index to be the single most important feature. Jintai kaibougaku's index is only of average size (17 pages of Japanese entries). Nihon jintai kaibougaku is much larger (79 pages), although it is also much more expensive.Aesthetically, Jintai kaibougaku is also average, a softback with limited photos and many paintings and drawings. I believe that aesthetically the bilingual edition of the Color Atlas of Human Anatomy (5ed) is superior -- but also more expensive.A 2003 publication, Jintai kaibougaku is not exactly dated, but the bilingual edition of the Color Atlas of Human Anatomy (5ed) and the bilingual edition of Grant's Atlas of Anatomy (9ed) are both newer.
