The atlas consists principally of a series of photographs of brain sections cut in the frontal, horizontal, and sagittal planes; each photograph being accompanied by a transparent reproduction of the postmortem arteriogram of the particular cerebral section concerned.

The atlas also contains a radiographic study of the anatomy of the major individual arteries to the brain, and concludes with a microangiographic study of certain vascular areas.
