Description
Featuring over 250 full-color images, this text is a detailed and thoroughly illustrated guide to interpretation of transbronchial and endobronchial biopsies. The book presents a consistent, well-organized approach to each biopsy diagnosis: differential diagnosis includes low-power figure overview, high-power figure from the same diagnosis, followed by artifacts, pitfalls, and special clues to the correct diagnosis.
A companion Website will offer the fully searchable text and an image bank.
