The series presents case studies in radiology with questions and answers to help residents learning to interpret images quickly and accurately, and to help candidates prepare for certification examinations. This volume presents 350 cases in imaging the thorax, from conventional radiography to more complex modalities--the key workload in contemporary radiology departments. Proper observation, analysis, and interpretation of such imaging requires thorough understanding of the pathophysiology and imaging manifestations of a broad range of diseases, say Restrepo and Zangan. In this second edition, they reinforce the essential imaging details of core thoracic imaging cases and introduce a variety of new conditions, common and uncommon. Solutions and explanations are on the back page of the image. Annotation ©2019 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
A powerful spectrum of thoracic radiology cases and board-type Q&A review to help you pass your exam!
This second edition of RadCases Thoracic Imaging from Carlos Restrepo and Steven Zangan presents 100 differential diagnoses covering the span of lung and thorax disease states, from common conditions such as pneumonia and ARDS to rare conditions like Mounier-Kuhn syndrome and DIPNECH. This edition includes important variations of prior cases, updated diagnostic and management strategies, and new pathological entities. Cases are strategically designed to simulate pathologies encountered in day-to-day practice, increase knowledge, and provide robust exam preparation. For maximum ease of self-assessment, each case begins with the clinical presentation on the right-hand page; study that and then turn the page for CT and chest radiograph findings, differential diagnoses with the definitive diagnosis, essential facts, pearls and pitfalls, and more.
