7Preface
Professor Shigeto Ikeda's invention of fiberoptic bronchoscopy has revolutionized the practice of medicine. As 21st century progresses, fiberoptic bronchoscopy has become the most common and important procedure in the practice of pulmonary medicine and I have witnessed tremendous increase in application of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in clinical practice today.
Although fiberoptic bronchoscopy was started in department of pulmonary medicine at King George's Medical College, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, for the first time in 1986 and we have acquired state-of-the-art video bronchoscopy unit for the first time in the state of Uttar Pradesh in the year 2000, since then the photography, record keeping, teaching and training has become much easier.
This book was written with the aim of defining an approach to the diagnosis of common pulmonary diseases based on abnormal bronchoscopic findings. The text consists of two parts, the first, a practical introduction and the second, X-ray, computed tomography (CT) and bronchoscopic pictures of interesting cases selected from 2,000 bronchoscopic procedures done in the last 15 years.
Undergraduates, postgraduates, medical students, chest physicians, thoracic surgeons, general physicians having special interest in pulmonary diseases and otolaryngologists will find this book as a practical guide.
