Highly Commended, BMA Medical Book Awards 2013 Sarcoidosis
represents a major challenge for physicians-not just in respiratory
medicine, but across a range of specialties. This book, with a
multidisciplinary authorship of the highest standard, presents the
most up-to-date thinking on all aspects of the condition, from
epidemiology to clinical manifestations and treatment options. Full
coverage is given to both respiratory and non-respiratory aspects.
The basic science that underlies the disease and its progression is
evaluated in detail, and placed into its correct clinical context.
Possible future advances are covered in a concluding section. The
editors-all leading figures in the field with international
reputations-have compiled the definitive work on the subject in a
single volume. The book is fully comprehensive and evidence based
and will be an essential addition to the bookshelves of all whose
practice involves the care and treatment of patients with
sarcoidosis.

Unlike other texts of imaging for clinicians, Pulmonary Imaging
seeks not to teach the physician or surgeon about the radiologic
signs of pulmonary disease but rather inform about the value of the
various imaging tests in different clinical scenarios. Accordingly,
each chapter is written by a clinician and radiologist: the basic
ethos is that the clinician identifies the common problem-areas and
questions faced in a given field of pulmonology and that the
radiologist attempts to critically define the role, if any, of the
different imaging studies. Pulmonary Imaging will be valued by
physicians and surgeons who regularly investigate and manage
patients with pulmonary disease. There is little doubt that imaging
tests are vital in the investigation of respiratory disease.
However, because of the staggering advances in imaging technology,
the practicing physician or surgeon is often faced with a wide
range of potential radiologic tests. Moreover, it is fair to state
that the evidence-base for the utility of some tests in specific
clinical scenarios sometimes lags behind the enthusiasm and
adoption in practice. Indeed, it has become apparent to many
thoracic radiologists that, in certain clinical settings, the more
sophisticated radiologic techniques (e.g. multidetector row CT)
probably have little to offer over the more traditional modalities,
such as plain radiography. The main aim of Pulmonary Imaging:
Contributions to Key Clinical Questions is to inform the reader
about the value of various imaging tests in different clinical
scenarios, based on the available evidence. Each chapter is
co-authored by a physician and radiologist with the former defining
the key clinical questions which arise in a specific setting and
the radiologist outlining the role of imaging tests, if any, in
answering these questions. It is hoped that this critical approach
to radiologic tests will appeal not only to physicians and surgeons
but also to radiologists who must regularly manage patients with
respiratory disease.
