In the last 2–3 decades medical sciences has shown a tremendous technological development which is true for every branch of Medicine. However, the branch of Radiology has shown revolution with the addition of many therapeutic procedures and diagnostic modalities, i.e. ultrasound, CT, MRI, CT and PET, color Doppler and other interventional procedures. This has resulted in the change of nomenclature of department from Department of Radiology to Department of Radiology and Imaging. The Radiologists help in making the diagnosis in almost 70–80 percent of cases besides offering many other therapeutic guided procedures with the availability of gamut of investigating procedures. The purpose of book is to give comprehensive detail of the some of the important topics which will be helpful to the residents and practicing doctors in updating their knowledge. In the book entitled “Seminar in Radiology” the complex and varied clinical presentation by disease processes, the accompanying technical consideration and the aids to clinch the diagnosis have been dealt with, all at one place in the most plausible and lucid manner. Besides, interventional and therapeutic aspects are not left untouched. Prof OP Sharma, an academician of repute has done an excellent job by writing and giving an excellent presentation of the topics required in day-to-day practice. I am sure the book will definitely find a space on the tables of postgraduate students and Radiologists.

7Preface
This book is primarily an effort to help all categories of Postgraduate students for their preparations, appearing for final theory and practical examination of MD/DMRD/DNB Radiodiagnosis.
Though this book at present has thirty chapters only and without photograph. Inclusion of photo and X-ray prints have been omitted to avoid the cost though I am sure all the students must be reading different books on different imaging modalities. But in this book, I have tried to compile all the possible most imaging feature of certain complex of sign and symptoms leading to certain groups of diseases.
I shall be most happy if the readers demand more than this, provided they feel satisfied, then 2nd edition will be more useful and fruitful for them.
