Synopsis

This text describes the principal radiological symptoms of chest diseases, always in the context of clinical practice. As well as detailing the findings for individual syndromes, it devotes a substantial section to differential diagnosis. It shows how to carry out systemic analysis of the radiological signs and symptoms, and provides schematic drawings that are of particular use in providing an abstract summary of the clinical findings. This revised edition includes: the radiological diagnosis of cardiac disease which is discussed in the same detail as pulmonary and pleural diagnosis; up-to-date information on CT and MRI, as well as coverage of their clinical significance; and a new design which makes the book easier to read, matching the logically structured contents.
