Imaging of Diseases of the Chest: Expert Consult – 5th Edition

Review
***2010 BMA Book Awards – Highly Commended – Radiology category***”This is an excellent overview of chest radiology. This has been updated with CT-PET, multi detector CT and new lung cancer stage. It is an excellent bench book for any radiology department doing chest radiology with a good overview of all subjects.” Judges comments
“Never has a “point source” on focused imaging managed to be so thoroughly concise and complete. Marvelous” Radiology “Few single-volume textbooks on thoracic imaging can compare with this book” Am J. Roentgenology “This is simply an excellent book” Respiratory Medicine 5 stars ” Brilliant book on chest imaging” Amazon.com reviewer Dr Rana Tauqir, Pakistan. Assessment: This new edition is very useful for any radiologist, resident, or fellow who wishes to improve upon his or her understanding and interpretation of diseases of the chest. It goes beyond the basic information found in general radiology texts such as Thoracic Radiology: The Requisites, by McLoud (Mosby, 1998), providing more information on rarer chest infections and inflammatory or interstitial diseases to provide a truly comprehensive resource for any imager. Doody’s Journal Best Chest Pathology Book on the Market., March 10, 2006 Excellent Images of pathologies. Expensive but worth the money.
This is the ideal resource for all those requiring an authoritative and up-to-date review of imaging appearances of diseases of the lung, pleura and mediastinum. Chest radiography and CT are integrated with other imaging techniques, including MRI and PET, where appropriate. The clinical and pathologic features of different diseases are provided in varying degrees of detail with more in depth coverage given to rarer and less well understood conditions.
A single volume, comprehensive reference text on chest radiology.Provides in a single resource all of the information a generalist in diagnostic radiology needs to know.
Concisely and clearly written by a team of 4 internationally recognized authors.Avoids the inconsistency, repetition, and unevenness of coverage that is inherent in multi-contributed books.
Multimodality coverage integrated throughout every chapter.All of the applicable imaging modalities are covered in a clinically relevant, diagnostically helpful way.
Approximately 3,000 high quality, good-sized images.Provides a complete visual guide that the practitioner can refer to for help in interpretation and diagnosis.
Covers both common and uncommon disorders.Provides the user with a single comprehensive resource, no need to consult alternative resources.

Access the latest version of the Fleischner Society’s glossary of terms for thoracic imaging.
Outlines, summary boxes, key points used throughout.Makes content more accessible by highlighting essential information.
Brand new color images to illustrate Functional imaging techniques.Many of the new imaging techniques can provide functional as well as anatomic information.
Introduction of a second color throughout in summary boxes in order to better highlight key information. There’s a wealth of key information in the summary boxes-will be highlighted more from the narrative text and will therefore be easier to access.
Practical tips on identifying anatomic variants and artefacts in order to avoid diagnostic pitfalls.Many misdiagnoses are the result of basic errors in correlating the anatomic changes seen with imaging to their underlying pathologic processes.
Latest techniques in CT, MRI and PET as they relate to thoracic diseases.
The pace of development in imaging modalities and new applications/refined techniques in existing modalities continues to drive radiology forward as a specialty.
Emphasis on cost-effective image/modality selection.Addresses the hugely important issue of cost-containment by emphasizing which imaging modality is helpful and which is not in any given clinical diagnosis.

Clinical Problems in General Medicine and Surgery


Clinical Problems provides a comprehensive selection of important medical and surgical scenarios. The reader is taken through 62 case histories step by step and is asked to interpret a broad range of medical data. Most of the clinical problems are accompanied by illustrations, which include cardiographs, radiographs, clinical and pathological photographs. In addition to detailed questions and answers, a commentary is provided that highlights the important issues of each case, as well as a guide to further topics of study.
The aim of any undergraduate curriculum is to produce graduates who have the knowledge and skills required to enable them to become competent members of the medical fraternity. Understandably, upon qualification these attributes will be raw and untried, but we expect them to be able to show that they possess what it is required of doctors in their first few years after graduation. What is ‘required’ in a clinical situation is often not obvious to the student and hence the reason for this book.
The book represents a departure from the traditional formula of systems and diseases, and an exhaustive review of each subject. Rather the authors have selected what they believe to be a number of important and, for the most part, relatively common medical and surgical scenarios and approached each from the perspective of the practicing clinician presented with a clinical problem. Whilst the book has been written primarily for undergraduates it describes clinical problems as they will be managed by recently qualified doctors.
It is not the purpose of this book to challenge or compete with standard reference material, rather it represents an important adjunct to the learning process of clinical reasoning, rather than provide the knowledge that must accompany it, although an considerable amount of factual material is to be found within its pages. Problem solving is a vital component of medical education, and while it can be taught well at the bedside and in small group tutorials, there are few books that help with this style of learning.
  • Addresses important medical and surgical topics from a problem-oriented approach.
  • Presents relevant clinical illustrations for each case, such as ECGs, radiographs, and clinical and pathologi-cal photographs.
  • Emphasizes empathy with the patient’s situation as well as effective patient counseling.
  • Provides commentaries from experienced clinicians, highlighting the most important issues of each case and offering suggestions on possible further areas of study.
  • Identifies situations where emergency management must take precedence over pathophysiological diagnosis.
  • Features extensive updates to reflect the increasing role of minimally invasive diagnostics.
  • Offers a new, full-color page design, with all-new photographs throughout.
  • Provides a stronger emphasis on the worldwide web as a source of further information
