BookW. Richard Webb, Charles B. Higgins.
Summary: A comprehensive text-reference that addresses imaging of the heart and lungs. Provides expert guidance required for the accurate radiologic assessment and diagnosis of both congenital and acquired cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Coverage of all current imaging modalities includes information on CT, high-resolution CT, MRI, plain field radiography, and MR angiography, providing the procedural steps and applications of each technique. Over 2,000 detail-revealing images depict the full range of normal anatomy and pathologic findings.
