Surface and Radiological Anatomy with a Clinical Perspective

Surface and Radiological Anatomy with a Clinical Perspective, 2nd Edition is a Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME)-aligned MBBS anatomy textbook built to the National Medical Commission (NMC) curriculum, with a dedicated Competency Table mapping every AN-series competency code directly to its chapter, page range, teaching-learning method and assessment method. This edition adds two entirely new chapters - Dermatomes and Ossification Centers of the Human Skeletal System - and adds clinical correlation to every surface-anatomy topic along with newer imaging techniques such as PET, MRI, contrast MRI, PET CT, and OCT. The book is organized in two sections across 16 chapters: Section 1, Surface Anatomy, covers the anatomical position of the body and the surface landmarks, blood vessels, nerves and clinical lines of the upper limb, lower limb, thorax, abdomen, and head and neck, closing with the new Dermatomes chapter; Section 2, Radiological Anatomy, opens with the principles of radiology and newer imaging techniques (tomography, CT, PET, MRI, contrast MRI, MR angiography) before working back through the radiology of the same regions - upper limb, lower limb, thorax, abdomen and pelvis, and head and neck - and closes with the new Ossification Centers chapter. Each surface-anatomy topic is illustrated with labeled photographs of live-model landmarks alongside companion line diagrams, and is followed by a boxed 'Applied Anatomy' callout that ties the landmark directly to its clinical use - percussion, auscultation, ECG lead placement, pericardiocentesis approach, and more - so you see the clinical relevance of every structure as you study it, not as an afterthought. Who This Book Is For: MBBS 1st Year Students: maps directly to the NMC Competency-Based Medical Education curriculum for Anatomy, with a chapter-by-chapter Competency Table for exam and practical preparation. UG Medical Students: combines surface anatomy and radiological anatomy of every body region in one CBME-aligned volume, useful across the anatomy course. Medical College Faculty: the competency-mapped chapter structure, teaching-learning methods and assessment methods listed per topic support lecture, DOAP-session and practical planning. Why This Book Helps: Turns competency codes into a study plan: the Competency Table cross-references every NMC AN-code to its exact chapter and page range, domain, level, and assessment method, so you know precisely what to study and how you will be tested. Builds clinical reasoning alongside anatomy: boxed Applied Anatomy callouts attach a real clinical use to nearly every surface landmark, connecting the 'where' to the 'why'. Bridges anatomy and radiology in one book: surface landmarks and imaging anatomy are covered region-by-region in a single volume instead of separate sources. Keeps imaging content current: newer techniques - PET, MRI, contrast MRI, PET CT, and OCT - are covered alongside conventional radiography, fluoroscopy and ultrasound. Adds two full new topics this edition: dedicated chapters on Dermatomes and Ossification Centers close curriculum gaps that a purely surface/radiology split would otherwise leave out. Key Features: New chapters on Dermatomes and Ossification Centers of the Human Skeletal System. Dedicated Competency Table mapping every NMC AN-series competency code to its chapter, teaching-learning method and assessment method. Clinical correlation boxed as 'Applied Anatomy' alongside every surface-anatomy topic. Newer imaging techniques covered in depth - PET, MRI, contrast MRI, PET CT, and OCT - alongside conventional radiography, fluoroscopy, mammography and ultrasound. Two-section structure covering surface anatomy and radiological anatomy of the same body regions - upper limb, lower limb, thorax, abdomen and pelvis, head and neck.
