"The authors of this book, part of the Medical Radiology – Diagnostic Imaging and radiation Oncology series, present a sound approach to diagnosis of lung disease based on the CT appearance of the pulmonary parenchyma. … The book is appropriate for the practicing radiologist who wishes to embark on evaluation of the lungs and their diseases according to anatomic parameters, especially HRCT. … Clinical physicians with a particular interest in pulmonary disease will find the book useful as well." (Lisa Diethelm, Doody's Review Service, August, 2007)

"The purpose of this book is to present a pattern approach, using high-resolution CT, to evaluate the pulmonary parenchyma in normal and diseased states. ... This book is aimed towards radiology residents and fellows, as well as trainees in pulmonary medicine. ... This book belongs to the teaching library of radiology residents and fellows. It will give these trainees a good approach to evaluating pulmonary diseases." (Aurelio Matamoros, The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, Vol. 49 (1), January, 2008)

This book describes the main appearance and distribution patterns of lung disease with the help of many color drawings and high-quality illustrations. This approach enables the reader to recognize these patterns and to interpret them in order to reach a diagnosis. In addition, the book includes many typical cases so that the reader can see how the information is applied.
