Written by a pioneer in critical care ultrasound, this book discusses the basic technique and "signatures" of lung ultrasound and explains its main clinical applications. The tools and clinical uses of the BLUE protocol, which allows diagnosis of most cases of acute respiratory failure, are first described in detail. Careful attention is then devoted to protocols derived from the BLUE protocol - the FALLS protocol for diagnosis and management of acute circulatory failure, the Pink protocol for use in ARDS, and the SESAME protocol for use in cardiac arrest - and to the LUCI-FLR program, a means of answering clinical questions while reducing radiation exposure. Finally, the book discusses all the possible settings in which lung ultrasound can be used, discipline by discipline and condition by condition. Lung Ultrasound in the Critically Ill comprehensively explains how ultrasound can become the stethoscope of modern medicine. It is a superb complement to the author's previous book, Whole Body Ultrasonography in the Critically Ill.

Providing pathologists with the extensive array of illustrations necessary to understand the morphologic spectrum of interstitial lung disease (ILD), Atlas of Interstitial Lung Disease Pathology: Pathology with High Resolution CT Correlations provides a clear guide to this often confusing and difficult topic. Each chapter touches on the important radiology, clinical, mechanistic, and prognostic features along with numerous illustrations of pathologic findings in a concise, easy-to-follow format. Packed with over 500 images that clarify the morphologic spectrum of interstitial lung diseases and demonstrate the features of the differential diagnoses, this quick reference will help you: observe and determine if a case shows the diagnostic features of a particular disease; effectively diagnose ILD through detailed illustrations of the pathology and expert coverage of imaging in every chapter; broaden your understanding of uncommon variants of relatively common ILDs; for example, fibrosis in chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (CEP) and in BOOP, interstitial spread of Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), and progression of desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) to a picture of fibrotic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP); use imaging material to understand the pathologic changes behind the radiologic appearances of ILDs; and stresses the team approach necessary for the final diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases.

This text presents a detailed overview of the principal radiologic and pathologic findings of the most common pulmonary diseases. Its primary radiologic emphasis is on the appearance of the diseases and abnormalities. The goal is to offer the radiologist a greater appreciation of the patterns and distribution of the histopathologic abnormalities as shown on the imaging studies, and the pulmonary pathologist better understanding of the radiologic findings. The text features radiologic-pathologic correlation throughout and has a strong emphasis on high-resolution CT, which generally provides the best depiction of anatomic features. Reviewers praised the concise and succinct narrative style of the first edition.

The thoroughly revised, updated Third Edition of this acclaimed atlas is a valuable aid to interpreting pulmonary HRCT scans, and an excellent complement to Webb, Muller and Naidich's "High-Resolution CT of the Lung, Fourth Edition". Featuring over 900 large images - almost all new to this edition - the atlas depicts the full spectrum of HRCT appearances of diseases affecting the airways and pulmonary parenchyma. The images are all accompanied by telling legends that are much easier to follow than lengthy blocks of text. This edition includes new material on adult presentations of congenital lesions, drug reactions, mycobacterial diseases, smoking-related interstitial disease, and viral pneumonias.

"HRCT of the Lung: Anatomic Basis, Imaging Features, Differential Diagnosis" is part of the "Specialty Imaging" series published by Amirsys, a series of books that provides radiologists with focused, in-depth imaging data for radiologic specialties. With discussions of pertinent anatomy, diagnoses, and differential diagnoses from across the field of high-resolution imaging, this resource delves into the nuances inherent to this specific imaging modality. Concise, bulleted text makes this book efficient and easy to use. More than 1,200 images with comprehensive captions display both typical and variant findings on HRCT scans. An eBook online companion offers fully searchable text.

Unlike other texts of imaging for clinicians, Pulmonary Imaging seeks not to teach the physician or surgeon about the radiologic signs of pulmonary disease but rather inform about the value of the various imaging tests in different clinical scenarios. Accordingly, each chapter is written by a clinician and radiologist: the basic ethos is that the clinician identifies the common problem-areas and questions faced in a given field of pulmonology and that the radiologist attempts to critically define the role, if any, of the different imaging studies. Pulmonary Imaging will be valued by physicians and surgeons who regularly investigate and manage patients with pulmonary disease. There is little doubt that imaging tests are vital in the investigation of respiratory disease. However, because of the staggering advances in imaging technology, the practicing physician or surgeon is often faced with a wide range of potential radiologic tests. Moreover, it is fair to state that the evidence-base for the utility of some tests in specific clinical scenarios sometimes lags behind the enthusiasm and adoption in practice. Indeed, it has become apparent to many thoracic radiologists that, in certain clinical settings, the more sophisticated radiologic techniques (e.g. multidetector row CT) probably have little to offer over the more traditional modalities, such as plain radiography. The main aim of Pulmonary Imaging: Contributions to Key Clinical Questions is to inform the reader about the value of various imaging tests in different clinical scenarios, based on the available evidence. Each chapter is co-authored by a physician and radiologist with the former defining the key clinical questions which arise in a specific setting and the radiologist outlining the role of imaging tests, if any, in answering these questions. It is hoped that this critical approach to radiologic tests will appeal not only to physicians and surgeons but also to radiologists who must regularly manage patients with respiratory disease.

This book presents a practical approach to the differential diagnosis of pulmonary infections based on their radiographic and CT appearances. The authors discuss the value and limitations of chest radiography, the indications for CT, the optimal CT techniques, and the role of intravenous contrast. The chapters describe and illustrate the characteristic imaging manifestations of common community-acquired and nosocomial pneumonias and various infections seen in immunocompromised patients. The book contains over 400 images and many tables that summarize the characteristic manifestations of bacterial, mycobacterial, fungal, and viral infections. It has over 50 full-color illustrations that show histopathologic or microbiologic features that correlate with imaging findings.

Written by recognized authorities on thoracic imaging, this volume is the first to examine all modalities - both noninvasive and invasive - for visualizing the airways. Emphasis is placed on correlating CT images with bronchoscopy, to aid in interpreting CT findings and in performing interventional bronchoscopic procedures. After a review of airway imaging techniques and anatomy, the book presents correlating CT and bronchoscopic images for a wide range of pathologic entities. Detailed chapters examine the trachea and central bronchi, the diagnosis of bronchiectasis, and the use of CT in diagnosing small airway disease. A chapter on functional imaging of the airways is also included.

Written by faculty members and residents, this volume of the popular "LWW Teaching File Series" is an excellent aid for radiology residents preparing for oral board exams. It presents 150 well-illustrated cases, drawn from teaching files in major medical centers, that cover all common chest diseases and current imaging modalities. Cases are presented as unknowns in a consistent format - images and a brief clinical history are followed by relevant findings, differential diagnosis, final diagnosis, and a discussion. This format enables readers to hone their diagnostic reasoning skills and answer exam questions with confidence. Cases are grouped according to pattern of radiographic appearance.
