Short description:

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the "real-time accompany technique" for diagnostic interventional pulmonology, known as rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE). It also offers readers a detailed understanding of how to interpret ROSE cytological slides, which is key to the interventional procedure itself and valuable in the analysis of the infectious disease status.

The first part discusses the ROSE procedure, clarifying the role of ROSE in the diagnosis of respiratory diseases, while further sections address correct work processes and the implications of ROSE, incorporating multidisciplinary perspectives on respiratory diseases, interventional pulmonology, pathology, clinical microbiology and infectious diseases. This helps practitioners, such as pulmonologists, interventional physicians, radiologists, critical care physicians, haematologists and rheumatologists, establish standardized clinical practices. The book also covers detailed clinical workups, including presentations of lesions, which are of interest to physicians from other specialties.

?The book seems to be written for practicing cytopathologists who are involved in ROSE diagnostics during interventional pulmonology procedures. This book could be useful as a review for pulmonologists and interventional radiologists who are involved in bronchoscopic and thoracoscopic biopsy procedures or with transthoracic needle biopsies. ? This is a helpful companion for cytopathologists who need to brush up on the common mycobacterial and fungal infections of the lungs as they pertain to interventional specimens.?
