Part of the highly regarded Specialty Imaging series, 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.

Key Features

• 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, respiratory syncytial virus, and e-cigarette and vaping product use-associated lung injury (EVALI), as well as content on new morphologic patterns for pulmonary fibrosis, the new classification for hypersensitivity pneumonia, and more.
• 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 allows you to access everything in this print version as well as additional images, text, 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.
