The thoroughly revised, updated Third Edition of this classic reference provides definitive guidance on chest imaging using today's advanced technologies, including high-resolution CT, spiral CT, and MRI. Drawing on their vast experience at leading medical centers, the authors detail the applications of CT and MRI to a wide range of clinical problems of the thorax. Complementing the text are over 1,000 new, improved CT and MR scans made on the latest-generation scanners. The Third Edition features new chapters on the aorta and great vessels, the pulmonary vasculature, and the solitary pulmonary nodule, as well as completely rewritten chapters on the mediastinum, lung cancer, and diffuse lung disease. Greater emphasis is placed on the diagnostic capabilities of high-resolution CT and spiral CT
