Part of the highly regarded Specialty Imaging series, HRCT of the Lung, third edition, reflects the many recent changes in HRCT diagnostic interpretation. An easy-to-read bulleted format and thousands of state-of-the-art imaging examples guide you step by step through every aspect of thin-section CT and HRCT in the evaluation of patients with suspected lung disease. This book is an ideal resource for radiologists and internal medicine specialists who need an easily accessible tool to help them understand the indications, strengths, and limitations of HRCT in their practice.
