A new edition of the top reference fordiagnostic analysis of the chest x-ray!
Derived from the acclaimed series, Differential Diagnosis in Conventional Radiology, the second edition of The Chest X-Ray covers all of the essential information necessary for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cardiovascular, mediastinal, pulmonary, and pleural disorders using the conventional chest x-ray.
The authors organize the chapters according to radiologic findings, and not by disease, enabling readers to approach diagnosis in a way that reflects the actual clinical situation.
Easy-to-reference tables provide key information on diagnosis and differential diagnosis based on classes of findings such as cardiac enlargement; pleural effusion; intrathoracic calcifications; alveolar infiltrates and atelectasis; pulmonary edema; symmetrical bilateral infiltrates; pulmonary nodules and mass lesions; pulmonary cavitary and cystic lesions; hyperlucent lung, and more.
