Diffuse Lung Disorders aims to bring together pathologists clinicians and diagnostic
radiologists to produce a simplified analysis and a unification of the existing concepts in the
diagnosis and treatment of diffuse lung diseases. With the goal of optimising the diagnostic
and therapeutic approach the book is arranged in a way that will permit the presentation of
various entities in a global practical and realistic manner. Pathological changes are
highlighted and the latest diagnostic modalities are then presented emphasising the use of new
techniques such as MRI and high resolution CT. Finally detailed therapeutic strategies are
proposed based on epidemiological findings radiographic manifestations and the complex
pathophysiological basis of each disorder. The resulting volume will appeal not only to the
sophisticated practitioner but will also provide material that is sufficiently organised and
didactic to be used by the young physician.
