The new pattern of PGMEE, there is increasing emphasis on image-based MCQs. This shift away from single line MCQs to clinical case scenarios has made it essential for you to know images as a part of preparation. The ‘short subject’ guides have not been able to keep pace with this change. Unlike in some other books where separate colour plates are provided at the start or at the end of the book away from the actual text, I have given the images their rightful place integrated within the topic itself for a better understanding. Unlike other books where images have been picked up from the internet (on foreign skin.)
