About this book

Maffessanti & Dalpiaz Would you set off on a car journey… Would you set off on a car journey without first having filled up with gas? Would you travel around the South of France without a roadmap? Would you head off for Ireland without first finding out about its history? Would you go trekking in Nepal without first finding out who your traveling companions were? Would you take part in a tour of India without knowing what you were to see and the diffic- ties you would face? How this book The idea for this book came about some time ago at Corvara (Italy, in the Alps). Lorenzo Bonomo had came about decided to organize Radiology courses in the snowfields according to the undeniable principle “mens sana in corpore sano”, entitling them “High Altitude Radiology”. Each day was devoted to an organ and that year was dedicated to the diffuse diseases. We were responsible for the chest and we had organized our lessons in an entirely interdisciplinary fashion, because either diffuse infiltrative lung diseases are treated in this way, or not much is understandable. Who are From the idea to its realization, the development of the volume was not easy. We began with a clinician, the authors a pathologist and four radiologists. With time someone was lost along the way and someone new came on board, as often happens on any long journey.

Reviews

The book is well organized with color coded sections, excellent summary charts and quality coned down HRCT images illustrating the salient radiographic findings.... I found it easy to find pertinent information rapidly. I like the way the book is organized. As a radiologist, I really enjoyed the clinical and pathologic aspects included in a concise fashion. The layout and organization is quite unique compared to other texts on this subject. The authors have succeeded in making a user-friendly, thorough, and well structured guide for the evaluation of patients with diffuse lung disease. I would highly recommend this to physicians from the resident level to the specialist, including radiologists, pulmonologists, internists, and pathologists. (Michael Farah, Doody's Review)

"...The size and layout of the book means that it is relatively portable and easy to read. For those radiologists who do not have the time to read the book from cover to cover, there a numerous simplified tables, incorporating disease patterns and suggested diagnoses. These act as a good quick reference guide. Overall, this is a well-written book, which serves both the interested and inexperienced reporter of HRCT. Not only does it act as a useful introduction to diffuse lung disease, but it would be an immensely valuable addition to any CT reporting bench. In addition, the book is entirely relevant to interested thoracic physicians and pathologists." (A. Devaraj, Clin radiol, December 2006)
