Book description
Packed with detailed, clearly labeled radiologic images on every page,
this lavishly illustrated atlas teaches readers how to identify and
quickly diagnose the spectrum of pulmonary vascular pathologies using
the full range of imaging modalities. Each concise yet comprehensive
chapter provides systematic coverage of the imaging manifestations of
common, uncommon, and rare diseases. Explanatory text supplements each
high-quality image to highlight only the most relevant, must-know information.
Features:
In-depth coverage of how the pulmonary vessels are affected by
congenital anomalies, cardiac disease, emboli, in situ thrombosis,
vasculitis, tumors, aneurysms, and other key lung vessel pathologies
359 high-resolution radiologic images demonstrate a wide variety of
imaging modalities, from radiography, angiography, and multislice CT,
to MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear imaging
Succinct bullet-point format enables quick and easy reference
High-quality angiogiographic and correlative CT images and
instructive drawings illustrate the diagnostic criteria of pulmonary embolism
Tips on how to recognize pulmonary embolism mimics, such as partial
volume and flow-related artifacts
This image-rich volume is ideal for clinicians, fellows, and residents
in radiology, respiratory medicine, emergency medicine, cardiology, and
cardiothoracic surgery as both an educational tool and a user-friendly
reference for everyday practice. Associate Professor, Department of
