General Anatomy With Systemic Anatomy Radiological Anatomy Medical Genetics (Paperback)

It is with great pleasure that I express my gratitude to all the students and teachers who wholeheartedly appreciated, used and recommended previous editions of this book. It is because of their support that this book has become so popular within a short span of time. The huge success of this book reflects appeal of its clear presentation of the anatomical text supplemented by simple line diagrams. To assure the correctness and maintain the accuracy, most of diagrams have been drawn by myself. These diagrams can be easily reproduced by students in the exam. The clinical correlations providing anatomical, embryological and genetic basis of common clinical conditions have been presented in blue boxes, to provide clinical orientation to students, which will help them immensely during their clinical years. Based on a large number of suggestions from students and fellow academicians, the text has been extensively revised and updated. Many new line diagrams and halftone figures have been added and earlier diagrams have been updated. Further in this edition specific learning objectives have given at the beginning of each chapter to emphasise the importance of topics. In view of present trend of using imaging modalities by clinicians, new radiographs including plain X-rays, CT scans and MRI have been given. I highly appreciate the constructive suggestions that I received from past and present students, colleagues and faculty members from various corners of the country for improvement of the content of this book. I do not claim absolute originality of the text and figures other than the new mode of simplification, presentation and expression. Once again, I wholeheartedly thank students, teachers and fellow anatomists for inspiring me to bring out revision. I sincerely hope that they will find this edition more interesting and useful than the previous ones. I welcome comments and suggestions from students and teachers for further improvement of this book.
