The aim of High-Yield Imaging: Chest is to provide an overview of the main aspects of chest imaging in a succinct and user-friendly bulleted format and with state-of-the art illustrations. It includes a review of the various radiographic and high-resolution CT patterns of disease and their differential diagnosis and a summary of the main pulmonary, mediastinal, pleural, and chest wall diseases. The text provides the essential information that the radiologist needs to know, including definition of the various abnormalities, radiologic manifestations, clinical utility of the various imaging modalities, characteristic clinical presentation, pathologic features, main diagnostic pearls, and differential diagnosis, as well as the key information that the referring physician needs to know about the condition and its imaging manifestations. The text is based on the 2-volume book Imaging of the Chest, published in 2008 by Elsevier, with the text updated in 2009. The figures include the most representative illustrations from that textbook plus new updated images.
The chest radiograph continues to be the most common imaging modality used in diagnostic imaging. The combination of high-quality chest radiographs and a good clinical history allows the radiologist and the respiratory physician to diagnose or to markedly narrow the differential diagnosis of many chest diseases. However, it is well recognized that the chest radiograph has important limitations. High-resolution CT and multidetector spiral CT have become the imaging modalities of choice in many chest diseases, and one or the other technique is performed almost routinely in the evaluation of patients with suspected interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary embolism, abnormalities of the aorta, and pulmonary or mediastinal tumors. MR imaging has an important role in the assessment of cardiovascular, mediastinal, and chest wall abnormalities. PET imaging and integrated PET-CT have replaced CT as the imaging modalities of choice for the staging of pulmonary carcinoma and lymphoma. The main role of ultrasound in chest imaging is as a guide for aspiration and drainage of pleural fluid collections and for biopsy of pleura-based tumors.
This book is aimed at radiologists, respiratory physicians, and radiology and pulmonary medicine residents and fellows, as well as internists and family practitioners taking care of patients with chest disease. We hope that it will be of value in improving the understanding of the various chest diseases and thus be helpful in improving patient care.
