| Summary |
Surveying state-of-the-art materials and methods for combating malignant and benign pulmonary conditions with new interventional pulmonology techniques, this comprehensive guide examines the full spectrum of available interventional options for pulmonologists and other specialists-supplying crisp descriptions of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques ranging from rigid bronchoscopy, laser therapy, and fluorescence bronchoscopy to medical thoracoscopy to transbronchial and transthoracic needle aspiration |
