HRCT of the Lung, third edition, reflects the many recent changes in HRCT diagnostic interpretation. An easy-to-read bulleted format and
thousands of state-of-the-art imaging examples guide you step by step through every aspect of thin-section CT and HRCT in the evaluation of patients with suspected lung disease. This book is an ideal resource for radiologists and internal medicine specialists who need an easily accessible tool to help them understand the
indications, strengths, and limitations of HRCT in their practice.
- Helps you identify and characterize critical HRCT findings and gain a solid understanding of cross-sectional imaging anatomy of the lung—crucial skills for formulating diagnoses and appropriate differential diagnoses
- Delivers details on anatomy-based exploration as well as nodules and micronodules, cysts and pseudocysts, reticulation and honeycombing, mosaic attenuation, ground-glass opacities, and interlobular septal thickening
- Uses a time-saving, bulleted format that distills essential information for fast and easy comprehension
- Includes new chapters on post-COVID-19 findings, RSV, and EVALI, as well as content on new morphologic patterns for pulmonary fibrosis, the new classification for hypersensitivity pneumonia, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases
- Provides direction for determining common, less common, and rare diagnoses based on morphologic features, distribution of abnormalities, and/or histologic patterns
- Features superb illustrations with comprehensive captions that display both typical and variant findings on HRCT scans
- Offers new references, new images, and new histopathologic correlations throughout
- Includes an eBook version that enables you to access all text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud; additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date

Review of the previous edition: "The book covers the whole spectrum of diseases of the chest imaged HRCT. The coverage of interstitial lung diseases is particularly excellent. Plentiful illustrations accompany the text, as is necessary for a subject of this nature. It is notable that the book pays good attention to differential diagnoses for each condition, as well as differentiating factors to weigh each of them, which is of direct value in day-to-day clinical practice.... This new edition is a valuable update of its predecessor, and an excellent addition to the field. This is a great resource for both reference and complete review." -Reviewed by Nikhil Madhripan, MD (Baystate Medical Center) Doody's Score: 92, 4 Stars!
