Diseases of the Chest, with Emphasis on X-Ray Diagnosis

JOHN M. ADAMS

This book is particularly suited to general practitioners and the emphasis given to X-ray is well demonstrated throughout. It is primarily an application of the method of X-ray as a clinical instrument to aid the clinician.

The broad aspects of chest disease including anatomy and physiology are developed with a consideration of pathogenesis in various specific conditions. The pneumonias are considered from an etiologic standpoint which is very important if proper understanding and treatment is to be attained. Emphasis is given to the importance of history and the skill required to get a good history. The significance of a good physical examination is not minimized, and the help to be obtained from X-ray is obvious in the book.
