Fundamentals of High-Resolution Lung CT-Common Findings, Common Patterns, Common Diseases and Differential Diagnosis.

"This second edition is fully updated to provide the most up-to-date information on new knowledge, new diseases, and new guidelines for diagnosis. In addition, many images have been updated, and two new features are included. First, a two-page summary of each chapter is included at the beginning of the book. These summaries distill the fundamental concepts and typical findings of common diseases from each chapter into an outline form. Additionally, six images are included in each chapter summary that demonstrate classic imaging appearances and provide a quick reference of the key points and typical imaging appearances. Second, within each of the chapters, typical examples of common diseases are specifically designated as "Classic Images". This provides a quick visual reference for those wishing to review typical imaging appearances of various HRCT patterns and diseases. It is our intention that this book provides the fundamental insights and facts necessary to interpret HRCT in most clinical settings, in an easily understood and digestible format. Although it is not comprehensive, it is our hope that it provides a practical and useful understanding of HRCT and its use in the diagnosis of diffuse lung disease"--
