Chest Imaging

Edited by Melissa Rosado de Christenson, Sanjeev Bhalla, Gerald Abbott, and Santiago Martinez-Jimenez

Description

Chest Imaging presents a comprehensive review of thoracic pathologies commonly encountered by practicing radiologists and residents in training. The volume covers topics including: Common Abnormalities, Emergency Radiology, Pleural Disease, Infections, Neoplasms, and Airway Disease. Each section begins with an overview chapter that orientes the reader to the concerns and issues related to imaging in the specific anatomic region or category.

Part of the Rotations in Radiology series, this book offers a guided approach to imaging diagnosis with examples of all imaging modalities complimented by the basics of interpretation and technique and the nuances necessary to arrive at the best diagnosis. Each chapter contains a targeted discussion of a pathology which reviews the definition, clinical features, anatomy and physiology, imaging techniques, differential diagnosis, clinical issues, key points, and further reading. This book is a must-read for residents and practitioners in radiology seeking refreshing on essential facts and imaging abnormalities in thoracic imaging.
