Book description
This lavishly illustrated book is your comprehensive, hands-on guide to
evaluating chest images. It is ideal for reading cover-to-cover, or as a
reference of radiological presentations for common thoracic disorders.
With this book, you will learn to interpret chest images and recognize
the imaging findings, generate an appropriate differential diagnosis,
and understand the underlying disease process. The atlas begins with a
review of normal thoracic radiography, CT, and MR anatomy, and goes on
to present cases on a wide range of congenital, traumatic, and acquired
thoracic conditions. Each case is supported by a discussion of etiology,
pathology, imaging findings, treatment, and prognosis in a concise,
bullet format to give you a complete clinical overview of each disorder.
More than 1,050 high-quality images demonstrate normal and pathologic
findings, and complementary scans demonstrate additional imaging
manifestations of disease entities. Residents, fellows, and general
radiologists called upon to interpret chest images will find this
easy-to-use book invaluable as a learning tool and reference. It is also
a must for thoracic radiologists, pulmonary physicians, and thoracic
surgeons who must read chest images --especially of challenging cases.
"A valuable text for any imaging department's library or as an
easily accessible desktop reference in the clinical setting."--The
Radiographer_x000D_ _x000D_ "Teaching Atlas of Chest Imaging
presents nearly 200 well-illustrated cases in a case-based format that
is optimized for self-assessment. ..After using this textbook--one that
you'll actually want to read--I am convinced that the reader's
diagnostic confidence in interpreting everyday chest imaging will
increase at the reviewing station. I enthusiastically recommend this
textbook for any general radiologist who is involved in any form of
chest or pulmonary imaging; all radiology residents, but particularly
those preparing for oral boards; pulmonologists; and anyone wishing to
maintain certification."--American Journal of Roentgenology_x000D_
_x000D_ "An eminently readable text that provides content related
to the important categories of chest disease through a series of
well-illustrated, case-based material. Especially helpdful features
include "pearls" and "pitfalls" pertinent to each
disease. Each case discussion concludes with an excellent up-to-date
list of suggested reading. The quality of the imaging figures is
excellent. Overall, this book is a complete, hands-on guide to
evaluating chest disease. It is ideal for reading cover-to-cover or as
an illustrated reference of radiologic manifestations of common thoracic
disorders. Radiology residents, thoracic imaging fellows, and practicing
general radiologists (especially those involved in the process of
maintaining certification) will find this easy-to-use book a valuable
tool and reference. [The book] should also be considered a key resource
for pulmonary and critical care medicine physicians, thoracic surgeons,
and all interested in chest disease. With
Teaching Atlas of Chest Imaging
, readers should be able to expand their chest-imaging interpretation
skills, learn to recognize abnormal findings, generate appropriate
differential diagnoses, and better understand the underlying disease
process. The content is comprehensive and rigorous. The case material is
excellent. I highly recommended the Teaching Atlas of Chest Imaging
as a valuable addition to departmental and personal libraries of all
those who share an interest in chest disease."--Respiratory Care
_x000D_ _x000D_ "Each discussion is complete, up-to-date and
represents a vade mecum which would be useful not only to radiologists,
but also to pulmonary physicians and thoracic surgeons. The chapters end
with appreciated "bulleted pearls" and "bulleted
pitfalls," where the more typical diagnostic points are emphasized.
This didactic formula in bulleted format is based on the use of a
concise text without losing its completeness. This atlas is complete,
well organized and enriched by numerous clear illustrations. Its
strength is in its usefulness when the reader, preparing a report, needs
a rapid diagnostic consultation, proposing epidemiologic, clinical,
therapeutic and anatomic pathologic information. The book is recommended
to the more expert chest radiologists as a useful manual when in need of
refreshing clinical and pathologic information, which is not always
fresh in the memory, to the senior residents who may be called to read
challenging chest images, and it would be useful also to the pulmonary
specialist and the thoracic surgeon facing a difficult pulmonary
problem."--Clinical Imaging_x000D_ _x000D_ "Teaching Atlas
of Chest Imaging
is an extraordinary effort by three expert chest radiologists to
provide a consistent, thoughtful, and novel syllabus to teach chest
imaging...comprehensive.. Notably, the book begins with an impressive
and well-planned review of normal thoracic anatomy using high-quality
radiographs and sequential CT images and MR images. Active readers will
love the Atlas, as there is ample real estate to annotate and take notes
in the margins of the book; it will most likely become your thoracic
disease review manual. This book is remarkably well edited. The
Teaching Atlas of Chest Imaging
should be on the shelf of every physician that deals with chest
disease. Futhermore, I believe interns and junior residents..in
medicine, family practice, general surgery, and radiology should tackle
and digest the Atlas, as it will provide an invaluable foundation and
reference during their training and careers. At a price of less than 0,
it is a bargain."--Aunt Minnie_x000D_ _x000D_ "The authors are
well-known and highly regarded academic chest radiologists who bring a
wealth of experience...The book is logically organized, with a format
that makes it easy to identify and reference the imaging findings and
review related case material...clearly and succinctly
written...Beautiful graphic illustrations enhance the text and
radiologic studies..."pearls"...conclude each case.
Teaching Atlas of Chest Imaging
stands out among chest radiology texts due to its case-based
approach...The quality of the images, easy readability, and practical
approach to diagnosis make this book a particularly good value. Every
radiology training program should have this book in its library as a
resource for residents and fellows."--Radiology_x000D_ _x000D_
"A readable alternative to dense textbooks...covers a wide range of
material with excellent illustrations and focused, concise
discussions...lends itself to self directed study and for board
review/preparation...A valuable addition."--Doody's Book Reviews
