Review
“The book covers the whole spectrum of diseases of the chest imaged HRCT. The coverage of interstitial lung diseases is particularly excellent. Plentiful illustrations accompany the text, as is necessary for a subject of this nature. It is notable that the book pays good attention to differential diagnoses for each condition, as well as differentiating factors to weigh each of them, which is of direct value in day-to-day clinical practice…. This new edition is a valuable update of its predecessor, and an excellent addition to the field. This is a great resource for both reference and complete review.” Reviewed by Nikhil Madhripan, MD (Baystate Medical Center) Doody’s Score: 92, 4 Stars!
