Main description:

This new edition is a complete guide to diagnostic imaging of the chest and cardiovascular system.

Beginning with an overview of chest radiology, techniques and anatomy, the following sections discuss imaging for different pulmonary diseases.

The second part of the book covers diagnostic imaging for cardiovascular disorders and includes a chapter on children with congenital heart disease.

The fourth edition has been fully revised to provide radiologists with the latest information in their field, and includes new chapters on basic patterns of lung disease on CT, and miscellaneous interstitial lung diseases such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, lipoid pneumonia, and emphysema.

The comprehensive text features discussion on the increasing use of image-guided interventions, and is further enhanced by radiological images and tables.
