Unlike other texts of imaging for clinicians, Pulmonary Imaging
seeks not to teach the physician or surgeon about the radiologic
signs of pulmonary disease but rather inform about the value of the
various imaging tests in different clinical scenarios. Accordingly,
each chapter is written by a clinician and radiologist: the basic
ethos is that the clinician identifies the common problem-areas and
questions faced in a given field of pulmonology and that the
radiologist attempts to critically define the role, if any, of the
different imaging studies. Pulmonary Imaging will be valued by
physicians and surgeons who regularly investigate and manage
patients with pulmonary disease. There is little doubt that imaging
tests are vital in the investigation of respiratory disease.
However, because of the staggering advances in imaging technology,
the practicing physician or surgeon is often faced with a wide
range of potential radiologic tests. Moreover, it is fair to state
that the evidence-base for the utility of some tests in specific
clinical scenarios sometimes lags behind the enthusiasm and
adoption in practice. Indeed, it has become apparent to many
thoracic radiologists that, in certain clinical settings, the more
sophisticated radiologic techniques (e.g. multidetector row CT)
probably have little to offer over the more traditional modalities,
such as plain radiography. The main aim of Pulmonary Imaging:
Contributions to Key Clinical Questions is to inform the reader
about the value of various imaging tests in different clinical
scenarios, based on the available evidence. Each chapter is
co-authored by a physician and radiologist with the former defining
the key clinical questions which arise in a specific setting and
the radiologist outlining the role of imaging tests, if any, in
answering these questions. It is hoped that this critical approach
to radiologic tests will appeal not only to physicians and surgeons
but also to radiologists who must regularly manage patients with
respiratory disease.
Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2022 and 2023! Over the past
30 years high-resolution CT (HRCT) has matured to become an
integral part of the multidisciplinary evaluation in diffuse lung
disease. In this regard, Webb, Muller
and Naidich’s High-Resolution CT of the Lung,
6th Edition, is a ‘gold standard’ reference that aims to
keep radiologists and pulmonologists alike at the cutting edge of
the ever-evolving field of thoracic imaging. The new US-European
author team continues the tradition of excellence which readers
have come to expect while the underlying layout and ethos —
established by the ‘founding’ author team — remain. The new
edition aims to brings readers up to date not only with recent
advances but also with the important conceptual changes in thinking
in various fields of thoracic imaging. Also featured in this
updated edition is authoritative guidance on HRCT findings and
differential diagnosis, as well as the characteristics of the
common lung diseases assessed using HRCT, all enhanced by a
multitude of new images and updated content throughout.Â
Covers the physical and anatomic principles governing HRCT imaging
and the importance of the ‘pattern-based’ approach to HRCT
interpretation. Updates to chapters on interstitial
lung diseases and airways diseases & connective tissue
diseases reflect the dramatic changes in thinking in these
fields. Includes new and improved features including key
HRCT findings in separate tables in relevant sections, where
relevant, and new and exciting topics including artificial
intelligence and machine learning. [Reword to: Includes
improved features such as key HRCT findings in separate tables, and
new topics including artificial intelligence and machine
learning. ?] Contains full-color illustrations of
histologic findings in lung disease linked with HRCT
manifestations. Provides diagnostic algorithms, an
illustrated quick reference guide at the front of the text, and
helpful tables and line drawings. Enrich Your eBook
