“This is an enjoyable text with many strengths. This book is likely better read as a whole or in sections … as opposed to positioning itself as a reference text. Any committed reader would gain a lot from working through the book, which strives to ‘combine theory with practice’ and it would more than likely confer an in-depth understanding of mediastinal diseases, their diagnosis and treatment, to any interested clini­cian or radiologist.” (Nicholas Screaton and Claudette Phillips, RAD Magazine, July, 2022)
