Overview

The book represents a complete and comprehensive visual representation of interstitial lung disease. It is a true pictorial supplement to the numerous monographs and texts on the topic. The images enhance the practical description of the disease. Since there is no atlas on interstitial disease this title is unique and provides the first practical illustrative reference. It will be of value to physicians who work in internal medicine or chest radiology.
