Title: Fundamentals of chest radiology
First published: 1996
Description: Three experts present proven approaches for identifying a wide range of common clinical problems. Diagnostic algorithms help you to determine whether plain radiography, CT, or MRI should be the next step in a given patient's evaluation. Clinical tips and "pearls" deliver practical guidance on radiographic interpretation. Advice on artifacts, accompanied by superb photographs, enables you to avoid unnecessary work-ups.

The book is organized by specific anatomic sites - the central airways, mediastinum and hila, pleura, parenchyma, and heart - and then further broken down according to disease etiology. This format gives you quick, convenient access to the best methods for solving diagnostic problems. A concise text permits you to quickly absorb the information you need. Tables of differential diagnoses clearly display the basic differentials of radiographic findings. A wealth of clearly reproduced radiographs, CT scans, and MR images illustrate key findings for the most commonly encountered cardiopulmonary diseases.
