Synopsis

This reference on the use of high-resolution CT (HRCT) to evaluate diffuse lung disease. It details the diagnostic capabilities of HRCT, gives step-by-step instructions on examination technique, describes and illustrates normal lung anatomy, defines and demonstrates HRCT findings for a wide range of diseases, and explains how to interpet these findings. More than 250 illustrations show the precision with which HRCT reveals subtle anatomic changes associated with disease and delineates the characteristics of abnormalities, allowing a specific diagnosis or an accurate differential diagnosis. Close attention is given to the use of HRCT in guiding thoracic biopsies and in follow-up examinations to determine the efficacy of treatment. A glossary of HRCT terms is also included.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The thoroughly revised Fourth Edition of this widely acclaimed volume explains how to use the newest high-resolution CT technology to detect and diagnose lung abnormalities. Still the only complete text on the topic, this compact, affordable reference is written by the foremost experts and provides cutting-edge technical and clinical information. It includes state-of-the-art HRCT scans of interstitial lung diseases and differential diagnosis tables summarizing the most helpful diagnostic features of interstitial and airspace diseases.This edition includes full-color illustrations of histologic findings in lung disease, correlated with HRCT manifestations. Also included are updated HRCT images obtained on multidetector CT scanners with many coronal and sagittal reformations. Two new chapters on the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias detail the differential diagnosis, pathophysiology, histology, clinical manifestations, and HRCT features of these entities. There is a companion Website that will offer the fully searchable text plus an image bank containing all illustrations from the text.
