Imaging of Pulmonary Infections

This book presents a practical approach to the differential diagnosis
of pulmonary infections based on their radiographic and CT
appearances. The authors discuss the value and limitations of chest
radiography, the indications for CT, the optimal CT techniques, and
the role of intravenous contrast. Chapters describe and illustrate
the characteristic imaging manifestations of common community-
acquired and nosocomial pneumonias and various infections seen in
immunocompromised patients. The book contains over 400 images and
many tables that summarize the characteristic manifestations of
bacterial, mycobacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Over 50 full-
color illustrations show histopathologic or microbiologic features
that correlate with imaging findings.
