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.
