Computed Tomography of the Lung (eBook, PDF)

A Pattern Approach

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The introduction of multidetector CT has meant that very detailed images of the lungs can be obtained in every patient undergoing chest CT. Interpretation of findings requires detailed knowledge and understanding of the CT signs of all the more common pulmonary diseases. The first part of this book reviews the significant appearance patterns of lung disease with the help of many colour drawings and high-quality illustrations. The second section applies these fundamentals in showing a variety of typical cases. This concise, easy-to-use book will help the radiologist-in-training to learn and understand the CT features of lung disease and is useful to more experienced specialists who wish to update their knowledge in the field.

Rezensionen

"The book gives a reader, without much experience in chest CT, an opportunity to 'start from scratch' enabling them to become reasonably proficient in chest CT interpretation for diffuse lung disease. We would recommend this book for radiologists in training, those seeking further understanding of CT appearances in chest radiology and also as a text within the personal collection of any general and chest radiology consultant." (RAD Magazine, October, 2018)
