Miguel Angel Reina, MD, PhD Professor of Anaesthesiology, Department of Clinical Medical Sciences and Research Laboratory of Histology and Imaging, Institute of Applied Molecular Medicine, School of Medicine, University of CEU, San Pablo, Madrid; Senior Anesthesiologist Department of Anesthesiology Madrid-Montepríncipe University Hospital Madrid, Spain An anesthesiologist and anatomical researcher for over 20 years, Dr. Miguel Reina has amassed a large collection of anatomical pictures obtained through scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, and uses them to explain different aspects of regional blocks of interest to regional anesthesiologists. Until now, his figures have been used only in individual chapters and articles on specific topics. This is the first cohesive work that organizes his library and includes the entire human body.

"The Atlas of Functional Anatomy for Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine ... serves as a photographic atlas of actual human images and tissue samples. ... this textbook has accomplished what it was intended to do. ... it is intended to provide information not found previously in anatomical and histological atlases. ... an excellent addition to any departmental library or personal library of the dedicated regionalist; the reader will certainly not be disappointed with the illustrations provided in this book." (Rejean Gareau, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia, Journal canadien d'anesthésie, November, 2015)
