Differential Diagnosis in Computed Tomography, 2nd edition, is an invaluable reference aid in the evaluation of CT images to help confidently gain a general diagnostic impression and a reasonable differential diagnosis. In contrast to disease-oriented radiology texts, this book is organized by CT findings, enabling the reader to quickly match the appropriate differential diagnosis to CT results. Special features of the second edition: * Continuation of the successful Burgener concept: Comprehensive tables describe the imaging patterns of the various diseases that may present on CT, along with other characteristically associated imaging findings and pertinent physiopathologic, pathologic, and clinical data * Over 2,000 detailed, high-quality images demonstrating a wide range of common and uncommon CT findings * Chapters organized according to anatomic regions, from the brain to the pelvis and the musculoskeletal system, with new chapters on meningeal and calvarian lesions and on trauma * Updated and revised sections reflecting the latest advances in CT technology and indications, including accurate staging of intra-articular and spinal fractures and evaluation of vascular diseases * Extensive index systematically cross-references diseases and CT findings for optimal access to information Recognizing the central role that CT plays in the field of modern medical imaging, this book is essential for physicians who want to strengthen their diagnostic acumen and CT interpretation skills: radiologists in practice; residents preparing for board exams; and any other physician charged with understanding and interpreting CT images.

The third updated and revised edition of Differential Diagnosis in Conventional Radiology provides essential information to make conventional x-ray an effective tool in diagnosing disorders affecting the bones and joints and the thoracic and abdominal body segments. The book is organized according to classifications of radiologic findings rather than disease, enabling the reader to approach diagnosis in a way that reflects the actual clinical situation. Concise and comprehensive tables outline key information on diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Highlights: - The unique organization of chapters based on radiologic findings mirrors the situations encountered in daily clinical practice - Easy-to-reference tables classifying findings, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis and providing important clinical data are perfect for an at-a-glance review - More than 2000 radiographs and schematic diagrams help to guide the reader toward the most likely diagnoses The third edition of Differential Diagnosis in Conventional Radiology contains an updated and revised section on radiology of the abdomen combined with the complete text from the recently published books Bone and Joint Disorders and The Chest X-Ray by the same authors. An exceptional reference work to have on hand, Differential Diagnosis in Conventional Radiology will benefit radiologists and specialists seeking to improve their skills in diagnostic imaging and will also be of great interest to residents preparing for their specialist examinations.

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.

Organized by findings to reflect how radiologists really work, this outstanding new book offers more than 1,950 MR images depicting the congenital and acquired disorders you encounter every day. Along with the magnetic resonance images, findings are presented in tabular format, providing brief summaries of essential demographic, pathologic, and clinical features of each disease. Thousands of high-quality illustrations assist in reaching the correct diagnosis even when you are faced with an abnormal finding. The book is divided into anatomical sections, including: the brain; head and neck; spine; musculoskeletal system; chest; abdomen; and pelvis. You will find coverage of the most common diseases, as well as rare and unusual conditions. All diseases and findings are cross-referenced, providing quick access to desired information. Special features of Differential Diagnosis in Magnetic Resonance Imaging: -Chapters arranged by anatomic location instead of by disease, mirroring the approach you apply in daily practice *Hundreds of helpful tables explaining pathological processes provide quick access to the diagnostic information you need *Each disease accompanied by a description of specific findings, allowing you to differentiate between conditions that have similar appearances -xamples given for the rarest of situations and common everyday cases *More than 1,950 state-of-the-art images, along with detailed diagrams and charts, give helpful examples of the findings you actually see in practice *Extensive cross-referencing of information helps you find the most applicable material for reaching the correct diagnosis Here is the quintessential guide to magnetic resonance imaging that radiologists and other physicians involved in interpreting MR images need to enhance their diagnostic skills. Residents and fellows will use it as an invaluable board preparation tool. Keep this practical text close at hand!
