Your one-stop source of complete imaging information for the evaluation of thoracic conditions and diseases in all modalities Due to the remarkable concentration of various vital organs that can be visualized in thoracic imaging, the region occupies a firm central place in the spectrum of diagnostic imaging. The book is based on the contents of the curriculum for thoracic imaging of the European Society of Radiology and covers the gamut of issues in thoracic imaging that radiologists are faced with in their daily clinical practice. Contents are divided into four main sections: fundamentals of diagnostic thoracic imaging, diseases of the chest and special findings, differential diagnostic considerations and incidental findings, and glossary. Key Features: Full coverage of all disease entities as they affect the lungs, airways, pleura, mediastinum, thorax wall and diaphragm, thoracic arteries and veins, and the heart All imaging modalities are covered in detail: projection radiography, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, and MRI, as well as digital image postprocessing Subsections concentrate on the more critical findings, such as pulmonary nodules and cavitary lesions Special section on occupational pulmonary diseases Congenital malformations of the thorax, and much more Diagnostic Imaging of the Chest is an essential reference guide for radiologists, both in training and in practice.

Covering the entire spectrum of this fast-changing field, Diagnostic Imaging: Chest, third edition, is an invaluable resource for general radiologists, thoracic radiologists, and trainees—anyone who requires an easily accessible, highly visual reference on today’s thoracic imaging. Drs. Melissa L. Rosado-de-Christenson, Santiago Martínez-Jiménez, and their team of highly regarded experts provide up-to-date information on recent advances in technology and the understanding of chest diseases to help you make informed decisions at the point of care. The text is lavishly illustrated, delineated, and referenced, making it a useful learning tool as well as a handy reference for daily practice. Serves as a one-stop resource for key concepts and information on chest imaging, including a wealth of new material and content updates throughout Features more than 2,800 illustrations (full-color drawings, clinical and histologic photographs, and gross pathology images) as well as video clips demonstrating the diaphragmatic paralysis positive sniff test, virtual bronchoscopy fly-through, and more Features updates from cover to cover including new information on pulmonary manifestations of coronavirus infection/COVID-19 and numerous new chapters throughout Reflects updates in terminology and imaging findings of common neoplastic disorders (including primary lung cancer and lymphoma), and novel imaging findings of inhalational lung diseases, including those related to vaping Covers common thoracic malignancies and chest diseases with details on the latest knowledge in the field, including lung screening with low-dose chest CT, approach to the patient with incidentally discovered lung nodules, and updates on the imaging manifestations and management recommendations for common pulmonary infections Uses bulleted, succinct text and highly templated chapters for quick comprehension of essential information at the point of care

Diagnostic Imaging: Chest (Second Edition) is the much-anticipated update to the bestselling first edition by Dr. Melissa Rosado-de-Christenson and her large team of chest radiology experts. This new edition features an expanded section on infections, including discussion of various infections not included in the first edition. It also adds two new subsections to the chest imaging section. The first of these is an illustrated terminology section, which includes medical illustrations of important visual identifiers such as "honeycombing." The second new subsection describes various radiographic and CT signs, such as the "finger-in-glove" sign. Also fresh in this edition is a new section devoted entirely to atelectasis, which features expanded discussion of this important topic. In all, this 980-page new edition features over 150 new chapters along with the time-saving bulleted text and stunning radiographic and medical illustrations that are hallmarks of the award-winning publications from Amirsys.

Revised to reflect the current cardiothoracic radiology curriculum for diagnostic radiology residency, this concise text provides the essential knowledge needed to interpret chest radiographs and CT scans. This edition includes nearly 800 new images obtained with state-of-the-art technology and a new chapter on cardiac imaging. A new patterns of lung disease section provides a one-stop guide to recognizing and understanding findings seen on thin-section CT. This edition also includes the new classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, current techniques for evaluating solitary pulmonary nodules, an algorithm for managing incidental nodules seen on chest CT, the new World Health Organization classification of lung tumors, and numerous new cases in the self-assessment chapter.

Chest Imaging Cases thoroughly encompasses the field of thoracic radiology through 137 cases covering common and challenging radiologic and clinical issues. The cases are divided into categories important for board examinations and clinical practice: diagnoses that should be made on radiography, trachea, esophagus, chest wall, thoracic outlet, congenital lesions, mediastinal lesions, pleura, diaphragm, pulmonary masses, diffuse lung disease, pulmonary vascular disease, thoracic trauma, and post-surgical complications. Using a problem and solution format, each case features high-quality images, practical differential diagnoses, approaches to daily practice, management pearls and suggested readings. Concise discussions keep cases brief and informative, allowing for efficient learning and interpretation. Chest Imaging Cases is the essential resource for honing diagnostic skills in thoracic radiology for students, physicians-in-training and practitioners.
