    It includes:

    • Full color endoscopy images illustrating normal anatomy, variations of normal anatomy, and disorders of the respiratory tract, to aid the reader in diagnosis.
    • Clinically relevant case studies to help translate theoretical knowledge into practical applications.
    • Information on both resting and overground endoscopy.
