5.0 out of 5 stars Best chest imaging reference, July 31, 2008

By 

Tom "raindog" (Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Imaging of Diseases of the Chest, 4e (Hardcover)

Just the best reference book on chest imaging. Lots of useful boxes, great emphasis on differentials, good pictures in all modalities. I'd like to see more histology pics on the edition. I'm a fan of Nestor Muller's books, but this one is superior to his recent release (Expert Radiology Series). For a resident I'd recommend Webb and Higgins' book. Hansell's text is quite easy to read but it's too long for a thoracic imaging rotation. I recommend it for thoracic imaging fellows and someone who wants a more in-depth text.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best single-volume chest radiology book., July 5, 2002

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

If you've seen the second edition, this edition is a big improvement, with much better coverage of CT and MR. It's an excellent book both for radiology residents and practicing radiologists, who are looking for a single-volume text which is both readable, and sufficiently comprehensive to use as a reference. Top-notch.
