Radiologia del torace

This book features a review of the normal histopathological anatomy, imaging techniques and diagnostic findings for a broad spectrum of clinical problems, including a classification of inflammatory syndromes previously described under several different terms.

This best-selling volume is your perfect introduction to chest radiology. You'll learn the basics of all the latest imaging technologies: MRI, high-resolution CT, multi-detector CT, and PET as well as traditional X-rays. A uniform, consistent presentation makes the material easy to master. Digital-quality illustrations, concise text, and many helpful algorithms and tables make it simple to find the information you need quickly. Each chapter has a Pearls for Clinicians section that gives you expert guidance for common clinical problems.

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.

Here's today's most important clinical knowledge on the diagnosis of chest diseases - condensed into a single, succinct, practical source! Derived from "Fraser and Pare's encyclopedic Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest", this state-of-the-art new edition focuses on the diseases and disorders clinicians see in everyday practice. 1,400 beautifully reproduced images, including 100 in full color, demonstrate the clinical appearance of a full range of conditions. Radiology described the previous edition as 'a high-caliber text' and declared that 'image quality is superb throughout'.

For a long time, imaging of the chest was based on the use of either radiography, demonstrating lung morphology, or scintigraphy, looking at lung function. However, as a result of recent developments in CT and MRI technology it is now possible to perform dedicated investigations of different aspects of lung function, such as ventilation, perfusion, gas exchange, and respiratory mechanics. This volume, written by acknowledged experts in the field, provides a well-illustrated and comprehensive review of these novel approaches to functional imaging of the chest. It will be of great assistance to all who are establishing such strategies in the research or clinical arenas for the diagnostic work-up and follow-up of patients with lung diseases.

Radiologic Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest provides a superb, concise overview of the radiologic manifestations of chest disease. This unique book is a radiologic companion to Fraser & Pare's Diagnosis of Diseases of the Chest, 4th Edition. An abbreviated approach to the subject matter provides only the most essential etiologic, pathogenetic, clinical, and pathologic information. This is the ideal title for all physicians requiring a concise review of the radiologic manifestations of chest disease. Several new illustrations and numerous tables have been added, and information has been updated throughout.

This new and up-dated edition of Radiologic Diagnosis of Chest Disease reflects the exceptional developments in diagnostic imaging in recent years. It offers the latest professional view from leading international experts and is based on the extensive experience resulting from the close co-operation between clinicians and diagnostic radiologists treating this important group of diseases. The book is divided in three parts, including normal anatomy, imaging techniques and clinical and radiological details on numerous diseases. It covers a broad readership and is of great interest to specialists in internal and chest medicine, thoracic surgery, radiology, pathology, immunology, oncology, etc., as well as to the trainees in these fields.

L’ organizzazione di questo trattato si basa su una descrizione abbastanza omogenea delle singole patologie, che copre l’ epidemiologia, l’ eziologia e la patogenesi, le caratteristiche anatomopatologiche, le manifestazioni radiologiche, le manifestazioni cliniche, i reperti di laboratorio (inclusi gli esami di funzionalità polmonare), la prognosi e la storia naturale.In che cosa la presente edizione si differenzia dalle precedenti? Abbiamo già accennato alla maggiore importanza che viene data alla HRCT (high-resolution computed tomography) e all’ aggiunta di molte nuove illustrazioni. Sono state incluse anche parecchie figure di esami istologici nel tentativo di spiegare meglio le basi anatomiche delle malattie. Oltre al vasto aggiornamento del materiale delle precedenti edizioni, sono state scritte nuove sezioni sulla TC del polmone normale, sul trapianto polmonare, sugli effetti dell’infezione da virus dell’ immunodeficienza umana (HIV) sul torace e sulle sindromi emorragiche polmonari. La sezione sulle neoplasie polmonari è stata riorganizzata per una maggiore conformità con l’ ultima classificazione dei tumori polmonari dell’ Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità. Le tabelle sulle diagnosi differenziali sono state semplificate in modo da includervi soprattutto le malattie che gli pneumologi incontrano con maggiore frequenza; oltre a fornire un maggior numero di esempi illustrativi, si spera che questa versione offra una guida più semplice e pratica alla diagnosi differenziale dei quadri radiologici toracici di più frequente riscontro.Per rendere il testo più accessibile al lettore, i 21 capitoli delle precedenti tre edizioni sono stati aumentati a 79. Abbiamo anche raggruppato i capitoli in grandi categorie in base alla localizzazione anatomica o alla presunta eziologia e patogenesi; questo raggruppamento è in parte arbitrario, ma si spera consentirà al lettore di accedere con maggiore facilità alle informazioni appropriate. Ciò che noi offriamo nelle seguenti pagine è un concetto della patologia toracica e un approccio alla sua diagnosi basati sull’ esperienza combinata di quattro persone e sulla loro conoscenza di osservazioni documentate.

This comprehensive resource covers all imaging aspects of the lungs, the pleura and the mediastinum and integrates all available imaging modalities. Both common and uncommon disorders are included, whilst the logical, clinical organization of the text allows for fast, efficient access to the information you require.

This pocket manual is a thoroughly illustrated quick-reference guide to the chest x-ray for the primary care practitioner. It is written by an eminent radiologist who has presented a course on the chest x-ray for internists at the American College of Physicians. The book is organized according to the radiographic findings for specific clinical problems and features 155 images illustrating differential diagnoses. The succinct text correlates the findings on the images to relevant clinical parameters.
