It is commonly observed in our daily medical practice where patients approach the physicians with reports regarding various investigations; either laboratorial or radiological viz. X ray, USG and others viz. ECG, EEG etc. Most of these patients take recourse to Ayurvedic medicines after finding no relief with modern medicine. The Ayurvedic physician may not be able to give justice to such patients in respect of neither the diagnosis nor treatment if s/he lacks knowledge of such modern diagnostics. This may cause hindrance in achieving Dharma/treatment of patients and work satisfaction, Artha/monetary benefit, Yash/success in treatment and Kirti/fame and reputation.
This book is student friendly and the description is entirely based on the points as per the syllabus, thereby making it exam friendly too. The language used in this book is simple, easy to understand and written to cater to all students; both national as well as international learners. Thus, all students from any corner in India, may they be from the North, North-East, South, Central, Western or Eastern India shall find it easy to read and understand the content as well as the concepts of Ayurved in a lucid manner.
