Overview

In the last decade, since the first edition of this book, there have been many new developments in all aspects of tropical medicine, and imaging has also made great progress. Equally important, tropical diseases are no longer confined to the tropics, but are brought throughout the world by travellers and migration. The diagnosis may often be made with the help of modern imaging techniques. The Imaging of Tropical Diseases brings together in two volumes the wide range of images which are possible today, and correlates them with their epidemiology, pathology, laboratory and clinical findings. This is a unique book which will be of immense value to all who are concerned with the care of patients who suffer from tropical diseases.

A panoply of tropical diseases that is set to become a definitive. No tropical disease is left uncovered. This is an outstanding work of scholarship and is likely to become the 'bible'for radiologists working in the tropics and those with an interest in infectious diseases. RAD Magazine The broad approach with a good coverage of pathology and epidemiology makes this an excellent book... The authors must be congratulated for taking on and persevering with this massive task, and for producing such a valuable work. imaging news ... I would have thought that these two volumes are an essential purchase for any radiology department where patients with imported diseases are investigated and for any infectious diseases of global distribution. Libraries in such centres should also acquire these volumes. The second edition of The Imaging of Tropical Diseases is without equal in this specialty. There are, indeed, few who are as brave to undertake such a mammoth task. Geoffrey Pasvol, Dept. of Infection and Tropical Medicine, Imperial College School of Medicine, Northwick Park Hospital, UK
