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.Summary: The best book for Chest RadiologyRating: 5This is absolutely the best book for chest radiology. The size is a little intimdating at first, but it reads quickly and is filled with incredibly useful descriptions and differential diagnoses. It is straight-forward, and makes learning Chest Radiology a lot easier. I wish they had books like this for all sections of radiology. This book is ideal for residents and fellows, or really ambitious med students. Summary: pulmonary fellowRating: 5The book is fantastic. It is well laid out in a logical and easy to follow fashion. The format focusses on differential diagnoses to radiological patterns - i.e. a practical clinical approach. The images are clear and all relate to clinical cases. I would go as far as to say that this is a "must-have" for any pulmonary fellow in training - there are few books which are as high yield as this one. Could not have asked for a better investment.Summary: Great bookRating: 4This is a great book not only for radiologists but for all specialists who deal with thoracic diseases: respirologists, thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons and intensivists.
