Atlas of Diagnostic Endoscopy is a compilation of endoscopic images of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The high-resolution digital images were captured live during routine endoscopy. Though more space has been devoted to common diseases like peptic ulcer, portal hypertension, etc., rare conditions like Dieulafoy’s disease and gastric antral vascular ectasia also have found equal prominence in the atlas. A brief introductory text, legends to the figures, relevant classification and staging of endoscopically relevant diseases are the other highlights of this atlas. Serial documentations of diseases and procedures like corrosive injury, variceal obliteration, peptic ulcer, etc. not only provide a complete perspective but also make the contents more interesting and informative. The atlas will certainly prove to be a dependable companion and guide to those practicing endoscopy. In the absence of proper guidance, either from a senior colleague or from an atlas, the young endoscopist largely depends on his ‘clinical sense’ to interpret the endoscopic findings. Needless to say, this results in serious errors and blunders. It is appalling to find esophageal varices being misdiagnosed as tumors or an advanced gastric carcinoma as erosive gastritis and so on. Hence, a great need was felt to compile one such atlas that is within the reach of the young endoscopists, without of course compromising the contents and quality.

Atlas of Diagnostic Endoscopy is a comprehensive compilation of high-resolution endoscopic images of the upper gastrointestinal tract, captured live during routine endoscopy in a busy tertiary referral hospital, and presented in full colour. Arranged in three broad sections - Oesophagus, Stomach and Duodenum - the contents have been further sub-divided into chapters representing different disease processes. While coverage of the more common diseases, including peptic ulcer and portal hypertension, is particularly extensive, rare conditions such as Dieulafoy's disease have also been included for a truly comprehensive overview. The images are accompanied by figure legends, while brief additional explanatory text includes details of classification and staging of endoscopically relevant diseases. The book will be an invaluable companion for the practising endoscopist, to be referred to often in the clinical setting, as well as a useful reference.

With its focus on narrow band imaging, this book is an excellent reference for new as well as experienced practitioners in the field of endoscopy. Narrow band imaging has brought about a revolutionary improvement in diagnostic endoscopy, enabling objective diagnosis and precise detection of lesions. It has enhanced the capability of endoscopy to facilitate qualitative diagnoses for the great benefit of patients who undergo endoscopic examinations. However, a standardized system of classification has not yet been established and many clinicians and researchers are not yet highly skilled in utilizing the technique or interpreting the images that are produced. This atlas addresses those issues, providing clear, simple and easy-to-understand descriptions illustrated with generous use of endoscopic images.
