Preface to the Third Edition
I
n preparing the third edition of this book which has been well received for
almost over two decades, I have retained the earlier version for its easy approach
to the subject. The diagrams of surface anatomy in Part I have been coloured
since colour captures a reality that is more consistent with the mode of learning
and has become an increasingly important element for most of the students today.
Apart from this, instead of abbreviated labelling full labelling of the figures has
been done for better understanding.
In Part II the radiographs by repeated printing had become indistinct and have
been mostly replaced by photographs of digital X-ray plates for their clarity. New
ultrasonographs, computerised axial tomographs and MRI photographs have
been put in.
The new imaging techniques have replaced contrast radiographic techniques
like bronchography and cholecystography. Ultrasonography of hepatobiliary
system, for example, is more sensitive than cholecystography in detecting small
stones and biliary sludge and moreover the patients are not exposed to radiation.
Contrast radiographs have their anatomical value to the student so chapters
dealing with these have been retained.
I hope that the changes which have been made will facilitate the understanding
of the text.

Acknowledgements
I
wish to acknowledge my thanks to many of my colleagues whose criticism
and advice guided me in preparing this book. I am grateful to Prof GN Agarwal,
Head of the Department of Radiology, King George's Medical College, Lucknow,
who very kindly provided most of the radiographs. The radiographs in the chapter
on bone age estimation and ossification of limb bones were acquired from the
department of anatomy, King George's Medical College and were due to research
work done by Prof Mahadi Hasan and Prof ID Bajaj for their MS theses. I am
thankful to them for allowing me to use these radiographs in my book.
I wish to express my appreciation of the many laborious hours spent by the
artist Mr GC Das for successfully executing the illustrations and for carefully
reproducing the tracings of the radiographs. The photographic prints were made
by Mr. VP Srivastava, Chief Technical Officer, Central Photographic Section, King
George's Medical College, Lucknow. I am thankful to Mr RS Saxena, of the
Department of Anatomy, KGMC, for the careful typing and retyping of the script.
I will be failing badly if I do not mention the encouragement which I received
from my wife and my children in writing the book which has been a unique
experience for the preparation of this edition.
For this revised edition I am most grateful to Dr Ratan Kumar Singh of Charak
Diagnostic and Research Centre, Lucknow, for providing me digital radiographs.
I am much indebted to Prof Ragini Singh, Head Department of Radiodiagnosis,
and Prof Naseem Jamal, Head Department of Radiotherapy, CSM Medical
University, for giving me CT photographs and USG strips.
I wish to thank Mr Ravi Kapoor, a famous photographer of Lucknow, for
preparing photographic prints of the new radiographs. I also extend my most
sincere appreciate to Mr Majumdar, the artist, for his careful tracings of the new
radiographs.
Finally, I wish to express my gratitude to Mr SK Jain, Managing Director,
Mr YN Arjuna, Senior Director—Publishing, Editorial and Publicity, and the
editorial staff of CBS Publishers and Distributors, New Delhi, for their great
assistance in the preparation of the third edition.
