Excellent.:
This book is a "must have" for every radiology resident and after residency. I have been a thoracic radiologist for some time and I always tell my residents to read it from cover to cover. It is clear and concise and has the information you need to make the diagnosis in most cases. Besides that, the authors have an extensive contribution to medical literature that gives them experience to highlight the most relevant data about each disease entity, making the reading easy and informative.
Great buy!
