Foreword
A sound knowledge of gross anatomy is invaluable for understanding Surface and Radio­
logi cal Anatomy.
Though there is no dearth of material on Surface and Radiological Anatomy, I appreciate
the commendable effort of the authors to collect and provide essentially relevant material
with sketches and photographs in a concise and systematic manner. The clinical correlations
have been mentioned in the colored boxes wherever necessary for the students of anatomy
as well as clinical students. Each chapter in Surface Anatomy provides basic concept and
information necessary to understand morphology of the structures intended to practice
Surface Anatomy.
Recent advances in the field of Radiodiagnosis are overwhelming. The students get a
glimpse of modern imaging techniques in addition to conventional radiography, so that they
are aware of the importance of Cross­sectional Anatomy in Radiodiagnosis well before they
enter into clinical side.
It is a simple and complete textbook providing an overview of the subject for quick recall,
which fulfills the needs of the present generation of students.

Preface
Medicine is more an art than science in the hands of a skilled physician. But the fact is
that the art is fast vanishing with the advent of evolving technology, which has put more
diagnostic tools into the physicians’ bags. Bedside medicine needs revival so that the patient
does not have to go through unnecessary tests and also waste time and money. The need
of the hour is to bring back these clinical skills in our students and we, the authors of this
book, see Surface Anatomy as the first step towards this goal.
Gross Anatomy is the most basic and relatively constant of all basic medical sciences.
The basic human structure remains the same, though many normal variations have been
studied. Hence, thorough knowledge of anatomy is very important to build up our clinical
skills and knowledge further.
This textbook is targeted at health professional students and also clinicians. The focus
here is mainly on providing Surface Marking and Radiology of various internal organs and
structures and also the surgical approach in certain situations. The book also carries the
relevant Applied Anatomy, such as clinical findings in health and disease, various pathologies
that can involve the structures, differential diagnoses, various surgical methods, etc. in
separately highlighted boxes.
This textbook will be helpful to all health professional students in their clinical
examinations and the clinicians in their daily practice.
A sincere effort has been made towards promoting the art of medicine. Suggestions from
our readers regarding any improvements are always welcome.
