Description

Since it first published in 1989, this book has come to be widely acknowledged as the best single-volume reference on the radiologic diagnosis of adult chest disease. It focuses on the use of plain film studies, but also includes other modalities such as CT, MRI, and PET where appropriate. Coverage encompasses all common and uncommon diseases of the lungs, pleura, and mediastinum, and incorporates pertinent information on anatomy, physiology, and clinical perspectives throughout. The 4th Edition includes the latest techniques in Spiral (Helical) CT and High-Resolution CT...extensively revised and updated coverage of chest trauma...many brand-new images...and many other valuable updates.
