"This is a thorough resource for diagnostic radiologists as it has the most recent information available for diagnostic criteria, treatments, and the best course of imaging for specific diseases. With the new chapters on COVID-19 and EVALI, this book is truly up to date and highly relevant. The book is well organized and accessible, and the digital access is a wonderful tool as it provides additional imaging and resources, such as videos." -©Doody’s Review Service, 2022, Elizabeth C Brien, MD Candidate (East Tennessee State University Quillen College of Medicine) Doody's Review: 4 Stars!
