From the book reviews: "This text is part of the 'Learning Imaging' series aimed at medical students, residents, less-experienced radiologists, and other clinicians. ... this book is a good overview of chest imaging. ... For the price and the ease of reading, with good quality images and a comprehensive further reading list, this is a good textbook for the intended audience." (Catherine Jones, Radiology, Vol. 271 (2), May, 2014) "This book provides an easy to read overview of chest radiography and CT. ... Each of the ten chapters covers a specific anatomical region of the chest and contains a number of case studies illustrating a wide variety of pathologies. ... this book is aimed at medical students, junior radiologists and non-specialist medical staff, and as such is a reasonable introductory text."
