Jaypee Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series Chest Radiology

Chest radiology is the most commonly-used investigation method for pulmonary diseases. Accurate interpretation by radiologists is essential, in order to diagnose and manage disorders effectively. This atlas is a concise guide to chest radiology for residents and clinicians. Beginning with an introduction to anatomy, the book presents state of the art chest X-Ray, CT, MRI and PET scan images for numerous medical conditions. The book offers a clear understanding of how to recognise and interpret basic radiological signs, pathologies and patterns for differential diagnosis. A photo CD ROM is included to enhance the numerous well-illustrated X-Rays, CT and MRI scans in the atlas, making it an invaluable, hands-on reference for the evaluation of chest images. Key points Concise guide to chest radiology for residents and clinicians Presents numerous chest X-Rays, CT, MRI and PET scan images for chest diseases and disorders Offers clear understanding of radiological signs, pathologies and patterns to assist differential diagnosis Includes photo CD ROM

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a type of scan that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of the inside of the body. An MRI scanner is a large tube that contains powerful magnets. A patient lies inside the tube during the scan (NHS Choices). Part of the Jaypee Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series, this book is a comprehensive guide to MRI. Beginning with an introduction to the history and physics of MRI, each of the following sections discusses imaging and diagnosis of diseases in different areas of the body. MRI images for each condition are preceded by text summarising the disease, ultrasound and CT findings and important MRI findings to help clinicians interpret and make accurate diagnoses. The final sections list MR terms and acronyms. Key points Part of the Jaypee Gold Standard Mini Atlas Series Comprehensive guide to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Presents MRI images with descriptive text for numerous diseases Includes lists of key MR terms and acronyms

The purpose of this atlas is to illustrate how to achieve reliable diagnoses when confronted by the different abnormalities, or “disease patterns”, that may be visualized on CT scans of the chest. The task of pattern recognition has been greatly facilitated by the advent of multidetector CT (MDCT), and the focus of the book is very much on the role of state-of-the-art MDCT. A wide range of disease patterns and distributions are covered, with emphasis on the typical imaging characteristics of the various focal and diffuse lung diseases. In addition, clinical information relevant to differential diagnosis is provided and the underlying gross and microscopic pathology is depicted, permitting CT–pathology correlation. The entire information relevant to each disease pattern is also tabulated for ease of reference. This book will be an invaluable handy tool that will enable the reader to quickly and easily reach a diagnosis appropriate to the pattern of lung abnormality identified on CT scans.​

A handy pocket sized atlas containing information compiled by expert authors. It includes a CD ROM, and is suitable for everyone involved in medicine and health sciences from undergraduates to private practitioners, medical professionals and academics. Over the next 2 years, approximately 50 titles will be published by Anshan, covering a comprehensive range of disciplines within medicine and health sciences. The full series will develop into an outstanding resource for any medical library and each individual title will be a great value-for-money addition to a personal collection, for use as a portable reference for work or home.

Imaging of Pediatric Chest – An Atlas is a concise, highly illustrated atlas presenting state of the art diagnosis of paediatric chest disorders, using the latest imaging modalities. This book is comprised of thirteen chapters, beginning with guidance on the interpretation of a chest radiograph and the use of ultrasound in chest imaging. Subsequent chapters focus on specific chest conditions, detailing which imaging modalities produce the best results for each disorder, from neonatal respiratory distress to pulmonary infections and interstitial lung diseases. Modalities covered in Imaging of Pediatric Chest – An Atlas include chest radiography as the primary modality, CT scan in surgical conditions, and the use of ultrasound. With over 250 full colour images throughout the book, this is an ideal book for paediatricians and radiologists who wish to keep up to date with developments in the field.
