Reviews
From the reviews:
"The objective of this book … is to serve as a timely reminder about the many different patterns of tuberculosis … . The book is well-written, in an easy-to-read style, and the information contained is exhaustive. The text is supplemented by a generous bibliography … . In summary, this is an enjoyable book … . It will be a valuable source of information for both the clinicians looking after patients with tuberculosis, and the radiologist interpreting their images." (P.Bearcroft, European Radiology, Vol. 13 (4), 2003)
"The Imaging of Tuberculosis … is a monograph by Philip E. S. Palmer, MD, an expert on the imaging of tropical diseases. … The paper and printing are of high quality. The photographs are also of high quality, a remarkable achievement since most of them came from the tropics and from developing nations. The captions are clear and concise … . for radiologists who care for many patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or tuberculosis, this little book would be a handy reference." (Philip Goodman, Radiology, March, 2003)
"This book is a comprehensive review of the multitude of radiological manifestations that tuberculosis may exhibit. … There is a wealth of illustrations ... . The multitude of illustrations is a major strength of this book. … Another strength is the detailed and informative legends. … The text material is well written and logically organized. … The book deals with an important subject; one-third of the world’s population has been infected at some occasion with tuberculosis. … This book is recommended." (Göran Wegenius, Acta Radiologica, Vol. 44 (2), 2003)
