"Like other Amirsys books, Thoracic Neoplasms uses a succinct bulleted text style and image-rich depictions of neoplastic diseases of the thorax. Neoplasms of the lungs, airways, mediastinum (including thymic and esophageal neoplasms among others), heart, great vessels, pleura, and chest wall are discussed in detail. This book expands on the material presented in Diagnostic Imaging - Chest, second edition, with much more detailed information on the imaging features of specific chest neoplasms in various thoracic organs and locations with histologic correlations where appropriate."--Provided by publisher.

This book is an ideal resource for radiologists who need an easily accessible tool to help them understand the indications, strengths, and limitations of HRCT in their practice. Superb illustrations with comprehensive captions display both typical and variant findings on HRCT scans Introductory sections are specifically designed to lead the general radiologist to differential diagnoses from specific imaging findings, pathologic patterns, or from the disease/pathology itself Time-saving bulleted format distills essential information for fast and easy comprehension Updated content includes changes in HRCT interpretation and novel disease processes such as DIPNECH, new classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, airway-centered interstitial fibrosis, light-chain deposition disease, and interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) Fully revised throughout with new references, images, and histopathologic correlations

Reflecting recent major advances in the field, Müller's Imaging of the Chest, 2nd Edition, by Drs. Christopher M. Walker and Jonathan H. Chung, remains your go-to reference for all aspects of chest radiology, including the latest diagnostic modalities and interventional techniques. This exhaustive resource begins with a review of normal anatomy, progressing to expert coverage based first on how patients present in clinical practice, then on diagnosis or diagnostic category. This practical, easy-to-use format helps you effectively select and interpret the best imaging studies for the everyday challenges you face in thoracic imaging. Provides extensive new information on lung cancer screening, detailing the technique required to perform a lung cancer screening CT as well as how to interpret these examinations using ACR Lung-RADS. Contains four all-new chapters: Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis, Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features, Non-infectious complications of lung and stem cell transplantation, and Leukemia. Updates you on recent advances regarding interstitial lung disease diagnosis, diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH), interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF), pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis, and much more. Explains the recent CT classification in usual interstitial pneumonia/idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (UIP/IPF) diagnosis and what features are required to correctly categorize a CT into one of four specific patterns. Covers current topics such as bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections, and new staging and histologic classifications for various lung neoplasms including lung cancer and mesothelioma. Features more than 3,100 superior, large digital-quality images (many in full color) depicting all of the chest imaging findings you’re likely to see, and helping you distinguish between conditions with similar manifestations. Provides boxes highlighting key points to assist you with report writing, as well as suggestions for treatment and future imaging studies. Features a full-color design throughout, color-coded tables, classic signs boxes, and bulleted lists that highlight key concepts and get you to the information you need quickly.

The first text to offer complete, diagnosis-centered guidance on the effective use of emerging PET technology, Specialty Imaging: PET is a one-stop resource, expertly tailored to your decision support needs at the point of care. This accessible reference covers everything you need to know about the key role of PET in the complex field of precision medicine in areas including oncology, cardiac, infection and inflammation, vascular, breast, neurological, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, neuroendocrine, and many other specialties. With a practical, clinically oriented focus, it brings you fully up-to-date with research-based information on PET and how PET has resulted in radically new treatment approaches based on an immediate and molecular response to therapy. Features 1,600 high-quality images with captions and annotations for interpretive guidance, with illustrations including PET, with correlative CT and MR images depicting radiologic imaging findings Presents all diagnoses consistently, using a highly templated format with bulleted text for quick, easy reference Includes chapters in expert interpretation, artifacts, and common pitfalls Provides a wide range of essential information such as oncologic PET diagnoses with staging tables and reporting tips; cardiac PET indications including stress tests, cardiac viability, and sarcoidosis; CNS PET indications including dementia, epilepsy, and oncology; and educational, illustrated PET cases including correlative CT and MR Covers PET physics and instrumentation and current clinical and emerging PET radiotracers in table format Ideal for clinicians who care for cancer patients (nuclear medicine radiologists, radiation oncologists, oncologists, oncology surgeons, and trainees in nuclear medicine and oncology), as well as those who interpret PET for a wide variety of indications

Specialty Imaging: HRCT of the Lung 3e delivers a powerful solution to make lung diseases diagnoses easier for radiologists, including general radiologists, cardiothoracic radiologists, pulmonologists, and rheumatologists. High-resolution computer tomography has long been identified as delivering enhanced resolution and is most commonly used for lung disease diagnoses. Lung disease diagnoses are quite complex though, and have an anatomical and pathological component in addition to the radiology perspective. In over 130 chapters, this book's organization provides the path to successful diagnosis with chapter titles that include the name of an entity as in chapters that use specific imaging patterns or even pathologic patterns to help determine the correct diagnosis. While the radiologist will often not know which specific pathologies are involved when reading a case, the content in SI: HRCT of the Lung 3e offers additional direction to determine the dx based on morphologic features, distribution of abnormalities, and/or histologic patterns. Since this book's 2e published in 2017, there have significant changes and updates to identified diseases, including new morphological patterns for pulmonary fibrosis, a new classification for hypersensitivity pneumonia that has been endorsed globally by the ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT federations. In addition, there are new chapters in place for post-COVID-19 findings, EVALI (lung disease caused by e-cigarettes and vaping), and RSV, along with updated images and new literature references throughout. . Updated content in existing chapters to reflect newest disease diagnoses, including for morphologic patterns for pulmonary fibrosis . Details on new classification for hypersensitivity pneumonia . Focused content on AI use for diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases . New chapters on more prevalent diagnoses include post-COVID-19 findings, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and EVALI (e-cigarette or vaping use-associated lung injury) . Updated contents throughout includes new images and the most current literature references for the 3e. In additional, new content is added to existing chapters and completely new chapters reflect updates in . New morphologic patterns for pulmonary fibrosis . New classification for hypersensitivity pneumonia . AI use for diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases . Post-COVID-19 findings . Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) . New chapter on EVALI (e-cigarette or vaping use-associated lung injury)

This profusely illustrated, practical reference is the first PET/CT book to offer not only comprehensive PET findings, but also extensive coverage of diagnostic CT findings, performance of diagnostic CT as part of PET/CT, and added benefits of PET/CT.

The primary focus is on oncology applications. For each disease entity, the book provides succinct, bulleted information on imaging recommendations, CT findings, nuclear medicine findings, differential diagnosis, pathologic features, and clinical issues. Numerous illustrations with detailed legends show CT findings and PET/CT findings for each entity. An eBook online companion offers fully searchable text.
