Description
Book SynopsisInterstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a group of lung diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue and space around the air sacs of the lungs). It is a general category that covers many different lung conditions.
Part of the Clinico Radiological Series, this book is a guide to diagnostic imaging of interstitial lung diseases for clinicians.
Beginning with an overview of classification and terminology, and various imaging modalities, the following sections describe imaging techniques for many different lung disorders. A complete section is dedicated to paediatric lung diseases.
The comprehensive text is highly illustrated with nearly 900 radiological images and tables.
Also part of the Clinico Radiological Series, is Temporal Bone Imaging (9789385891908).
