James Reed, MD, Professor of Radiology, Department of Radiology, University of Louisville Hospital, Louisville, KY

Description
This comprehensive, yet concise tool provides a direct approach to differential diagnosis for the 23 most common radiologic patterns of chest disease. CT and HRCT are used to confirm the pattern, show anatomic distribution of the disease, and make a specific diagnosis. Each pattern is introduced with radiographs followed by a series of questions, tables of differential diagnosis, and discussions of the most likely diseases to present with such a pattern. Discussions emphasize the importance of clinical correlation to narrow down the differential diagnosis.

Audience
Primary Market: Practicing Radiologists, Radiology Residents, Critical Care Physicians, Pulmonologists
