ABOUT THE SERIES
D r. Frank H. Netter exemplified the distinct vocations of doctor, artist, and teacher. Even more important, he unified them. Netter’s illustrations always began with meticulous research into the forms of the body, a philosophy that steered his broad and deep medical understanding. He often said, “Clarification is the goal. No matter how beautifully it is painted, a medical illustration has little value if it does not make clear a medical point.” His greatest challenge—and greatest success—was chartering a middle course between artistic clarity and instructional complexity. That success is captured in this series, beginning in 1948, when the first comprehensive collection of Netter’s work, a single volume, was published by CIBA Pharmaceuticals. It met with such success that over the following 40 years the collection was expanded into an eight-volume series—each devoted to a single body system.
In this second edition of the legendary series, we are delighted to offer Netter’s timeless work, now arranged and informed by modern text and radiologic imaging contributed by field-leading doctors and teachers from world-renowned medical institutions and supplemented with new illustrations created by artists working in the Netter tradition. Inside the classic green covers, students and practitioners will find hundreds of original works of art—the human body in pictures—paired with the latest in expert medical knowledge and innovation, and anchored in the sublime style of Frank Netter.
Dr. Carlos Machado was chosen by Novartis to be Dr. Netter’s successor. He continues to be the primary artist contributing to the Netter family of products. Dr. Machado says, “For 16 years, in my updating of the illustrations in the Netter Atlas of Human Anatomy, as well as many other Netter publications, I have faced the challenging mission of continuing Dr. Netter’s legacy, of following and understanding his concepts, and of reproducing his style by using his favorite techniques.”
Although the science and teaching of medicine endures changes in terminology, practice, and discovery, some things remain the same. A patient is a patient. A teacher is a teacher. And the pictures of Dr. Netter—he called them pictures, never paintings—remain the same blend of beautiful and instructional resources that have guided physicians’ hands and nurtured their imaginations for over half a century.
The original series could not exist without the dedication of all those who edited, authored, or in other ways contributed, nor, of course, without the excellence of Dr. Netter, who is fondly remembered by all who knew him. For this exciting second edition, we also owe our gratitude to the authors, editors, advisors, and artists whose relentless efforts were instrumental in adapting these timeless works into reliable references for today’s clinicians in training and in practice. From all of us at Elsevier, we thank you.

PREFACE
T he second edition of the Endocrine System volume of the Netter Collection is designed to provide physicians at all stages of training and practice with a visual guide to the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the endocrine glands. The first edition was published in 1965. In the intervening 5 decades, there have been remarkable developments in our understanding of endocrine disorders. The text has been entirely rewritten, but most of the anatomic and clinical artwork of Frank H. Netter, MD, has stood the test of time. Since new endocrine disorders and treatment approaches have been recognized over the past 50 years, new artwork has been added in every section, including the following: current surgical approaches to remove pituitary tumors, tests used in the diagnosis of Cushing syndrome, adrenal venous sampling for primary aldosteronism, Cushing syndrome caused by primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease, treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1 and 2, and von Hippel–Lindau syndrome. Carlos Machado, MD, James A. Perkins, MS, MFA, Kristen Wienandt Marzejon, MS, MFA, and John Craig, MD, have contributed outstanding new plates to this edition, as well as adapted and updated existing artwork. The accompanying text serves to illuminate and expand on the concepts demonstrated in the images.
The book is organized in 8 sections, which correspond to the glands and components of the endocrine system: pituitary and hypothalamus, thyroid, adrenal, reproduction, pancreas, bone and calcium, lipids and nutrition, and genetics and endocrine neoplasia. In some cases, the Netter drawings are supplemented with modern diagnostic images (e.g., computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging). The original Netter edition and the new illustrations focus on embryology, gross anatomy, histology, physiology, pathology, clinical manifestations of disease, diagnostic modalities, and surgical and therapeutic techniques.
Writing an “update” that spans 5 decades has been a daunting challenge. However, this new edition will serve to preserve and provide context for the original Netter illustrations well into the twenty-first century. This work is not a complete textbook of endocrinology, but rather it is a visual tour of the highlights
