This review is from: Synopsis of Diseases of the Chest (Hardcover)

Great! It has info about every diagnostic method (not only imaging). It misses some images from the "Radiologic Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest" by the same authors but has great pathology and lab methods discussion. HIghly recommmended!!
