The clinical and pathologic features of different diseases are provided in varying degrees of detail with more in depth coverage given to rarer and less well understood conditions.

Practical and clinically focused, this Chest title in the new Teaching Files Series provides you with 200 interesting and well-presented cases and nearly 600 high-quality images to help you better diagnose any disease of the chest.

Questo volume si prefigge di fornire a tutti coloro che, di fronte ad un sospetto clinico di Pneumopatia Infiltrativa Diffusa, si sentono confusi stante la molteplicita delle patologie in gioco a fronte di una sintomatologia, di un radiogramma del torace e di reperti funzionali sovente aspecifici. Nella pratica clinica, l'iniziale orientamento in questo labirinto e sempre dato sempre piu spesso dalla Tomografia Computerizzata ad Alta Risoluzione (HRTC) i cui reperti consentono di formulare le prime ipotesi e di programmare gli accertamenti successivi ma talvolta sono di per se stessi conclusivi. La proposta degli Autori e di usare proprio l'HRTC come "filo d'Arianna" per districarsi nel dedalo di queste pneumopatie, e precisamente di partire dalla TC del Paziente, identificarne il pattern predominante per mezzo di immagini di riferimento e poi, con l'aiuto di tavole sinottiche, di restringere il ventaglio delle ipotesi diagnostiche ad una o comunque ad un numero limitato di malattie. Ciascuna malattia e poi trattata in uno spazio dedicato dove vengono descritti l'epidemiologia ed i fattori di rischio, le modalita di presentazione e i dati funzionali e successivamente vengono illustrati gli aspetti anatomopatologici, radiologici ed i reperti del lavaggio broncoalveolare. Non mancano paragrafi che ne delineano evoluzione e complicanze ed altri che propongono concretamente l'iter diagnostico piu opportuno per giungere alla diagnosi definitiva."
