Synopsis

Over 10 years have passed since the first edition of The Mediastinum was published in 1977. I have been very gratified by the response to the first edition and determined to do a second edition as soon as possible. However, good intentions are sometimes difficult to achieve and a decade has passed. This period has been one of enormous growth in the discipline of diagnostic imaging. In the study of the mediastinum, computed tomog- raphy, and more recently magnetic resonance, have revolutionized our diagnostic capabilities. This second edition of the mediastinum is in- tended to emphasize the importance of these modalities to the evalua- tion of mediastinal disease. In addition, an attempt will be made to integrate into the text the many new and important observations relat- ing to all aspects of mediastinal imaging which have appeared in the literature since 1977. The overall emphasis, however, will remain the same: that accurate radiologic diagnosis is based upon a thorough understanding of corre- lated radiographic anatomy and pathology. No matter what the imag- ing modality, this principle remains fundamental to each and every radiographic interpretation. I would like to express once again my deep appreciation to Dr. Stephen A. Kieffer, Chairman of the Department of Radiology at the State University of New York Health Science Center at Syracuse for his continued support and encouragement.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This new edition of The Mediastinum provides yet more complete coverage of the radiologic appearances of the normal and abnormal mediastinum. These appearances are correlated with underlying anatomic and pathologic specimens, permitting a better understanding of findings and more accurate diagnosis. The approach of the book is thorough, reviewing a wide range of abnormalities that the reader may encounter. In particular, this new edition offers more precise insight into the radiographic appearance of thoracic disease. It also provides more extensive illustrations and an updated bibliography covering all literature since the first edition.
