This atlas presents over 200 meticulously curated cases covering a wide spectrum of thoracic pathologies, from common conditions like adenocarcinoma to rare entities such as Wegener granulomatosis. Each case is accompanied by high-quality images—totaling over 1,500—that depict both typical and atypical manifestations, aiding in the recognition of various disease processes. The second edition has been significantly updated to reflect advancements in imaging technology, incorporating more multiplanar, CT angiographic (CTA), MRI, and 3D imaging modalities to keep pace with the evolving field of chest imaging. Notably, this edition introduces 40 new cases and updates existing ones to provide the most current information. A new section on post-thoracotomy chest addresses normal postoperative findings and potential complications associated with common thoracic interventional procedures, offering valuable insights for postoperative patient management. The neoplastic diseases section has been revised to include the latest TNM staging system for lung cancer, ensuring that readers are informed about current classification standards. Additionally, the adult cardiovascular disease section now encompasses discussions on univentricular and biventricular or end-stage heart failure, including various ventricular assist devices and the Total Artificial Heart, along with their imaging features and associated complications. The diffuse lung disease section has been expanded to provide a structured approach to high-resolution CT (HRCT) interpretation, facilitating accurate assessment of interstitial lung diseases. Each case discussion is grounded in up-to-date reviews of current literature and classic landmark articles, providing a solid evidence-based foundation for clinical practice. Pearls highlighting features that strongly support specific diagnoses are interspersed throughout the text, enabling readers to sharpen their clinical diagnostic skills. This atlas serves as an invaluable illustrated reference for radiologists, pulmonary medicine physicians, and thoracic surgeons, as well as residents and fellows specializing in these fields, offering a thorough grounding in chest imaging., ISBN no:- 9781604065909, Author:- Parker, Edition:- 2nd Edition, Publication Year:- 2012, Publisher:- Thieme, Page No:- 996, Banding Types:- Hardcover, Replacement:- Returnable upto 3days (*T&C applied)
