Book description
The conventional chest x-ray remains the first line in the diagnostic
imaging of thoracic disease. In the new edition of this classic, you
will get the essential help you need to make preliminary diagnoses of a
vast range of pulmonary, cardiovascular, and other thoracic conditions.
The differential diagnostic information is provided in extensive tables,
organized by classes of findings, and illustrated by hundreds of
brilliant radiographs and, where helpful, schematic diagrams.
Professionals value the systematic structure of the information in the
Burgener series, which aids in making diagnoses confidently and
cost-effectively. "The authors have very successfully produced a
concise, focused, and well-organized book. The authors have been most
successful at compressing a great deal of fundamental chest radiology
into a small space. This approach allows a condensed presentation very
useful to residents preparing for board examinations or anyone seeking
to refresh his or her knowledge."--Clinical Imaging Professor and
Chairman, Department of Imaging Sciences, University of Rochester
Medical Center, Rochester, NY, USA Former Professor of Diagnostic
Radiology, University Central Hospital, Turku, Finland
