Published Reviews

Judd Gurney is a well-known teacher and author, and also hosts a very popular website on chest imaging. For this volume on the chest he has assembled an impressive list of contributors from North America and Europe.
The format of the text book will be familiar to many radiologists. The text is organized into five sections entitled Lungs, Mediastinum, Pleura - chest wall - diaphragm, Special topics, Patterns. Each page is illustrated with high-quality radiographs and rather less frequent, but excellent and informative, coloured schematics.
This book will certainly be heavily used in most reporting sessions by old hands and trainees alikeand will be a great source of information. It succeeds completely in achieving exactly what was intended at the outset.
