Chest Radiology-5판-Plain Film Patterns and Differential Diagnoses

Description
This comprehensive, yet concise tool provides a direct approach
to differential diagnosis for the 23 most common radiologic
patterns of chest disease. CT and HRCT are used to confirm the
pattern, show anatomic distribution of the disease, and make a
specific diagnosis. Each pattern is introduced with radiographs
followed by a series of questions, tables of differential
diagnosis, and discussions of the most likely diseases to
present with such a pattern. Discussions emphasize the
importance of clinical correlation to narrow down the
differential diagnosis.
