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)
