About this book

This book offers a comprehensive overview of all major pathologic conditions involving the lung and mediastinum and the related diagnostic procedures. Oncologic and non-oncologic conditions are reviewed and described in detail, featuring, besides normal anatomy, also high quality images from several modalities (including X-ray, CT, MR and PET), as well as b/w and color illustrations and line drawings. Complications associated with surgical and oncological treatments are also presented in detail with  extensive imaging examples.

The book provides  a thorough coverage of the topic of thoracic imaging, yet considering a concise and synthetic approach essential to optimal learning. The book will be a useful reference guide for the everyday clinical practice of young radiologists, residents and medical students.


Reviews

“This book is well produced and well illustrated with high quality radiology images and will, I feel, be well thumbed by radiology trainees and other interested readers wanting a slim yet fairly comprehensive introduction to this field.” (Arpan K Banerjee, RAD Magazine, September, 2020)
