DESCRIPTION:
Since it first published in 1989, this book has come to be widely acknowledged as the best single-volume reference on the radiologic diagnosis of adult chest disease. It focuses on the use of plain film studies, but also includes other modalities such as CT, MRI, and PET where appropriate. The 4th Edition includes the latest techniques in Spiral (Helical) CT and High-Resolution CTextensively revised and updated coverage of chest traumamany brand-new imagesand many other valuable updates.Integrates all relevant modalities in a clinically relevant, diagnostically helpful manner.Explores the diagnosis of pneumonia, tuberculosis, fungal disease, AIDS and other forms of immuno-compromise, neoplasms, and much more.Delivers more than 1,800 high-quality images, for complete visual guidance on image interpretation and diagnosis.Features two brand-new authors and mostly brand-new images, for a wealth of fresh perspectives on the material.Includes more summary boxes and bullet points to make information easier to find and understand.Covers the latest techniques in Spiral (Helical) CT and High-Resolution CT.Offers extensively revised and updated coverage of chest trauma..

Comprehension of the pathological categorisation and radiological description of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias is rather like understanding Einstein's theory of relativity - something that you are seduced into thinking you have grasped (and strangely makes you feel better for it) simply for it to slip through the gratings of your mind the next time that you ruminate on it). The remaining sections cover in detail virtually all areas of respiratory imaging including infection, pulmonary vascular disease, idiopathic lung diseases, neoplasia, congenital anomalies and trauma.Unlike many other textbooks which simply receive a new jacket with each new edition, this book, which is a must have for the general radiologist as well as the chest specialist, has been complet
Best chest imaging reference Just the best reference book on chest imaging. Lots of useful boxes, great emphasis on differentials, good pictures in all modalities. I'd like to see more histology pics on the edition. I'm a fan of Nestor Muller's books, but this one is superior to his recent release (Expert Radiology Series). For a resident I'd recommend Webb and Higgins' book. Hansell's text is quite easy to read but it's too long for a thoracic imaging rotation. I recommend it for thoracic imaging fellows and someone who wants a more in-depth text.
