The text consists of two parts, the first, a practical introduction to the art of bronchoscopy and the second a concise clinical history, chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT) and bronchoscopic pictures of interesting cases selected out of 2,000 bronchoscopic procedures done in last 10 years.

The first part also specifies all practical issues related to performance of fiberoptic bronchoscopy including indications, contraindications, normal and abnormal bronchoscopic findings, specimen collection and related complications.

It also includes a chapter on pediatric bronchoscopy and future advances in fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
