The chest x-ray is the most commonly performed diagnostic x-ray examination. Highly illustrated and with only a minimum of necessary text, this new book takes a highly efficient pattern-based approach to evaluating the chest x-ray. Classes of findings, such as increased radiolucency or alveolar shadow: atelectasis, are used to orient the reader toward the underlying medical problem. Tables help to organize the basic findings so as to be able to arrive at a differential diagnosis.
While the emphasis is on the chest x-ray, a supporting role is played by helpful CT images, schematics and drawings, and photographs of pathologic specimens, where these may be helpful to understand the chest x-ray appearance of the disease.
Chest x-rays are often performed routinely, prior to employment, prior to surgery or during immigration. The examining physician must be in a position to evaluate large numbers of chest x-rays confidently and speedily. This book succeeds admirably in helping the examiner to this end.

Terms of sale
ORDERING BOOKS : Since our internet stock is stored in a separate warehouse, email is a virtual
necessity for the initial inquiry. Please email orders using the Advanced Book Exchange order buttons.
If you use your own forms, we need the book number and book title to locate the book. If you
telephone first, please have our book inventory number and
title ready and please be prepared to call back later when we have had time to pull the book from
storage.
HOLDING BOOKS: After we confirm that a book is available, that book is placed on a temporary hold,
usually 24 hours or until 1 PM of the day following our confirmation whichever is less, to give you time
to order through ABE.
SHIPPING: We cannot quote shipping rates unless you give your full address. Domestic orders are sent
Media mail unless you request Priority mail. Media mail with delivery confirmation is $4 for the first
book and $1
for each additional book within the U.S. Media mail will usually take one to two weeks but can be
slower, especially near holidays.
Priority mail starts at $6 for the smallest books and goes up depending on the size and weight of the
book. This is available for domestic orders only and usually takes 3 to 4 days from the day we actually
mail the book.
These are the estimated delivery times that the Post Office gives us. These times cannot be guaranteed
due to the vagaries of the USPS.
Foreign orders will be quoted shipping based on location and the size and weight of the book.
Insurance is optional on foreign orders, but we will not be responsible for damage or loss if you choose
not to pay for insurance.
If an insured order does not arrive within 30 days of mailing, we can file an insurance claim to cover
your loss. This will require that you sign and return to us the insurance claim form that the Post Office
provides. We are not able to track or make any other inquiries about your order until 30 days have
passed.
RETURNS: Books may be returned for any reason within seven days of delivery. This delivery date will
be confirmed by USPS Delivery Confirmation which we place on every order within the USA. All we ask
is that a reason for the return must be given prior to you sending the book back to us. Books without
this prior return notification will be handled at our discretion and may be subject to additional handling
charges.
PAYMENT: Please pay through the ABE site.
SALES TAX: Washington residents will be charged sales tax at 8.5% unless they provide a valid
Washington UBI(resale) number with their order.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
