Chest and Cardiac Imaging: An Atlas of Differential Diagnosis

by Ronald L. Eisenberg

This atlas is a uniquely practical guide to the interpretation of thoracic and cardiac imaging findings. It contains the thoracic and cardiac material from the widely acclaimed Second Edition of Dr. Eisenberg's Clinical An Atlas of Differential Diagnosis, plus ample new case material on chest and cardiac diseases. The book presents differential diagnoses for the full spectrum of radiographic patterns seen on chest and cardiac scans using all current imaging modalities. In tabular format, the text describes specific imaging findings for each diagnostic entity and highlights differential points to aid the reader in arriving at a precise diagnosis. Over 600 illustrations show the subtle differences in appearance among conditions that produce a similar overall radiographic pattern. Cross-references enable the reader to find various radiographic manifestations of the same condition.
