This book describes the main appearance and distribution patterns of lung disease with the help of many color drawings and high-quality illustrations. This approach enables the reader to recognize these patterns and to interpret them in order to reach a diagnosis. In addition, the book includes many typical cases so that the reader can see how the information is applied.
