Principles and Interpretation of Chest X-Rays (Paperback)

This book is meant for students of medicine and radiology, and practitioners. It has nearly 400 x-rays including some very rare ones. Both normal and abnormal x-rays are shown and analysed. The discussion of abnormal x-rays in the clinical case study format (under the headings site of disease, pathology and etiology) is the unique feature of this book. A brief quiz at the beginning and end of each section stimulate the reader and confirm understanding of the principles. A special chapter on cardiac shadows is also provided.

A free CD provided within the book contains some of the important x-rays from the book, for detailed perusal.

This book fulfils a long-felt need of ? students, internists and pulmonary medicine specialists ? who want to understand and learn to interpret chest x-rays ? The authors ? have attempted and accomplished what many others have considered but not executed. I recommend this book to all ? who want to gain practical knowledge in interpreting chest x-rays. I congratulate the authors and hope this venture will be a great success.
