Review quotes

***2010 BMA Book Awards - Highly Commended - Radiology category***“This is an excellent overview of chest radiology. This has been updated with CT-PET, multi detector CT and new lung cancer stage. It is an excellent bench book for any radiology department doing chest radiology with a good overview of all subjects.” Judges comments

“Never has a “point source” on focused imaging managed to be so thoroughly concise and complete. Marvelous” Radiology“Few single-volume textbooks on thoracic imaging can compare with this book” Am J. Roentgenology“This is simply an excellent book” Respiratory Medicine5 stars “ Brilliant book on chest imaging” Amazon.com reviewer Dr Rana Tauqir, Pakistan.Assessment: This new edition is very useful for any radiologist, resident, or fellow who wishes to improve upon his or her understanding and interpretation of diseases of the chest. It goes beyond the basic information found in general radiology texts such as Thoracic Radiology: The Requisites, by McLoud (Mosby, 1998), providing more information on rarer chest infections and inflammatory or interstitial diseases to provide a truly comprehensive resource for any imager. Doody’s JournalBest Chest Pathology Book on the Market., March 10, 2006Excellent Images of pathologies. Expensive but worth the money.
