Rezensionen / Stimmen
Chest (Journal of the American College of Chest Physicians), 01-FEB-04, David S. Mendelson, MD -- "The greatest strength of this book lies in its organization, which consists of an intelligent grouping of radiologic patterns. Hence, in many ways it is a textbook of differential diagnosis that presents diseases with overlapping radiologic patterns and offers 'pearls' with regard to how to distinguish among them. This approach emphasizes how best to order one's differential diagnoses and is the most important attribute of this volume."-Chest (Journal of the American College of Chest Physicians)
