Description

This text provides a practical pattern approach to diagnosing chest and cardiovascular disorders, including illustrative radiographs and explanatory material. This title contains the chest and cardiovascular material from the second edition of Eisenberg's "Clinical Imaging: An Atlas of Differnetial Diagnosis", as well as new cases in each area, to create a new volume devoted specifically to chest and cardiovascular patterns. New case material accounts for more than 20 per cent of the book. The book is designed to provide differential diagnosis of a pattern seen on radiographs, with supplementary material to distinguish the various possibilities, as well as serving as a general review of imaging in chest and cardiac disease.
