Radiology Illustrated : Chest Radiology

Radiology Illustrated:Chest Radiology


The purpose of this atlas is to illustrate how to achieve reliable diagnoses when confronted by the different
abnormalities, or 밺isease patterns? that may be visualized on CT scans of the chest. The task of pattern
recognition has been greatly facilitated by the advent of multidetector CT (MDCT), and the focus of the book is very
much on the role of state-of-the-art MDCT. A wide range of disease patterns and distributions are covered, with
emphasis on the typical imaging characteristics of the various focal and diffuse lung diseases. In addition, clinical
information relevant to differential diagnosis is provided and the underlying gross and microscopic pathology is
depicted, permitting CT뻪athology correlation. The entire information relevant to each disease pattern is also
tabulated for ease of reference. This book will be an invaluable handy tool that will enable the reader to quickly and
easily reach a diagnosis appropriate to the pattern of lung abnormality identified on CT scans.
