of-the-art New Edition focuses on the diseases and disorders clinicians see in
everyday practice. 1,400 beautifully reproduced images, including 100 in full
color, demonstrate the clinical appearance of a full range of conditions.
Radiology described the previous edition as 밶 high-caliber text?and
declared that 밿mage quality is superb throughout.?

roentgenographic manifestations, clinical manifestations, and prognosis for
each condition.
Helps readers reach a definitive diagnosis more quickly with updated algorithms
and simplified tables dedicated to differential diagnosis.
Features a uniform style throughout, important concepts in highlighted in
boldface type, and updated key references from Diagnosis of Diseases of the
Chest, 4th Edition.
