The authour has done a very good job of conveying the essentials of thoracic imaging in a easy to read and well illustrated single volume book. While coverage of some topics is superficial, the well organised differential lists and nice images make this book a pleasure to read. Residents begining in thoracic imaging and those preparing for boards will find this book invaluable. It does not replace a full text book but conveys more information than an imaging atlas.

This book is really amazing! I read many texts in field of thoracic radiology, but no other book I get explained thoracic radiology such as this one. Definitly, Theresa McLoud is a great author and teacher (I had chance to hear her lecture when she came to Lebanon at 2010). The most lovely charpter was the interstitial lung disease. It was the first time when I get such complicated and difficult information in such simplified and full coverage manner. Recommend this book to all residents and starting radiologists who deal with thoracic imaging at daily practice.

I bought my copy from Amazon...It reached in mint condition :-). I have read only a few pages so far, but it seems to be a great book on thoracic imaging. I also talked to some of the attendings about the book and they all said that McLoud is a great author and a great radiology teacher. I am really glad I bought this book early enough to be able to make good use of it for my chest rotation.

As the title says, this is a good compromise if you don't want to splash out and spend the money on the newer edition. There's not that much difference between the two in actual content, but obviously this edition is a little dated. There are a few changes in terminology, biut at the end of the day the images are still as relevant as when it was first published. Very straight-talking text with excellent examples of xrays shown...plenty of High res CT too!
A bargin now as the new edition is out, but a good alternative if you don't mind it being a bit dated.

Very useful, organized and complete. Great images! This Requisites, as well as Neuroradiology from the same collection, are worth every penny.
