During the writing process, they collaborated, devoted their efforts, and leveraged their professional expertise, reflecting the spirit of medical workers striving for progress. The book is divided into 13 chapters, concisely and clearly explaining the concepts, classifications, and clinical characteristics of respiratory diseases, covering most respiratory diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic pulmonary heart disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary inflammation, tuberculosis, chest tumors, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, granulomatous pulmonary diseases, pleural diseases, congenital pulmonary diseases, pulmonary hemorrhage syndrome, alveolar proteinosis, and extrinsic allergic alveolitis. The first chapter describes the anatomical structure of the normal bronchi and lungs, from diagrams of the bronchial tree, chest X-ray frontal and lateral views, CT lung and mediastinum windows, bronchography to electronic bronchoscopy, labeling the trachea, bronchi, lung lobes, lung segments, and corresponding blood vessels to facilitate understanding the anatomical localization for disease diagnosis.
