Selected as a Doody's Core Title for 2022 and 2023! Over the past 30 years high-resolution CT (HRCT) has matured to become an integral part of the multidisciplinary evaluation in diffuse lung disease. In this regard, Webb, Muller and Naidich's High-Resolution CT of the Lung, 6th Edition, is a 'gold standard' reference that aims to keep radiologists and pulmonologists alike at the cutting edge of the ever-evolving field of thoracic imaging. The new US-European author team continues the tradition of excellence which readers have come to expect while the underlying layout and ethos - established by the 'founding' author team - remain. The new edition aims to brings readers up to date not only with recent advances but also with the important conceptual changes in thinking in various fields of thoracic imaging. Also featured in this updated edition is authoritative guidance on HRCT findings and differential diagnosis, as well as the characteristics of the common lung diseases assessed using HRCT, all enhanced by a multitude of new images and updated content throughout. Covers the physical and anatomic principles governing HRCT imaging and the importance of the 'pattern-based' approach to HRCT interpretation. Updates to chapters on interstitial lung diseases and airways diseases & connective tissue diseases reflect the dramatic changes in thinking in these fields. Includes new and improved features including key HRCT findings in separate tables in relevant sections, where relevant, and new and exciting topics including artificial intelligence and machine learning. [Reword to: Includes improved features such as key HRCT findings in separate tables, and new topics including artificial intelligence and machine learning. ?] Contains full-color illustrations of histologic findings in lung disease linked with HRCT manifestations.

Cardiothoracic Anatomy, the third title in the brand-new Netter's Correlative Imaging series, provides exceptional visual guidance for thoracic, chest wall, lung, and heart anatomy. Dr. Michael Gotway presents Netter's beautiful and instructive paintings and illustrated cross sections created in the Netter style side-by-side with high-quality patient images from breath-hold cardiac MR, multislice thoracic CT, and CT coronary angiography to help you visualize the anatomy section by section. With in-depth coverage and concise descriptive text for at-a-glance information and access to correlated images online, this atlas is a comprehensive reference that's ideal for today's busy imaging specialists.

With the advent of multidetector-row technology, excitement has returned to computed tomography. It is now possible to image faster and with better resolution than ever before; more importantly, the development of sophisticated image acquisition techniques has permitted the use of CT imaging in areas previously thought to lie beyond its scope. The knowledge, experience, and vision of a host of renowned international experts in cutting-edge thoracic applications of multidetector-row CT are condensed within this book. The result is a critical, comprehensive review of the novel opportunities, but also the new challenges, brought about by the development of ever-faster CT acquisition techniques.

Written by experts who are internationally known for their pioneering work in spiral CT, this volume is a state-of-the-art guide to the techniques and clinical applications of CT angiography of the chest. The authors demonstrate the capabilities and uses of CT angiography in assessing the pulmonary vasculature and aorta and detecting pulmonary embolism, chest trauma, vascular diseases of the lung, thoracic outlet syndromes, and SVC syndromes. More than 200 detail-revealing CT angiography images provide a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the pulmonary vasculature, the normal variants that must be distinguished from pathology, and the appearances of different pathologic entities.
