This is a great book for anyone interested in chest radiology or pulmonary diagnostic challenges. Dr. Miller has chosen excellent cases to illustrate a broad range of chest pathology. Moreover, the book is pitched toward to clinician. I read the book cover to cover in preparation for the pulmonary boards and enjoyed it throughout. Dr. Miller should be commended for producing such an informative and accessible chest radiology text.

The book is great. The only thing is that the images in kindle version of the book are so small it is impossible to see anything. And there is no way to enlarge them ! The same happens to tables -looks like they are poor quality photos of a printed book. Cannot enlarge them either. If I had a printed book I would rate it as five stars.

This review is from: Diagnostic Thoracic Imaging (Hardcover)

A phenomenal resource for any clinician. The book offers a wealth of information but is presented in a structured and logical way that is easy to read and user-friendly for the clinician. The book really helped me to handle what I found overwhelming at first and develop a systematic approach to the various radiographic patterns. It is filled with CXR and CT images from every imaginable clinical scenario and invaluable tables of differential diagnosis. The book provides a truly clinical approach to chest radiology. I imagine myself using this book for a very long time.
