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 Medicine 5 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 Journal Best Chest Pathology Book on the Market., March 10, 2006 Excellent Images of pathologies. Expensive but worth the money.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Just the best reference book on chest imaging. Lots of useful boxes, great emphasis on differentials, good pictures in all modalities. I'd like to see more histology pics on the edition. I'm a fan of Nestor Muller's books, but this one is superior to his recent release (Expert Radiology Series). For a resident I'd recommend Webb and Higgins' book. Hansell's text is quite easy to read but it's too long for a thoracic imaging rotation. I recommend it for thoracic imaging fellows and someone who wants a more in-depth text.
