Springer Diseases of the Heart, Chest & Breast 20112014 Diagnostic Imaging and Interventional Techniques 1st Editon 2011 Softbound by Jürg Hodler, Gustav K. Schulthess, Christoph L. Zollikofer
Written by internationally renowned experts, this volume deals with imaging of diseases of heart, chest and breast. The different topics are disease-oriented and cover all the relevant imaging modalities, including standard radiography, CT, nuclear medicine with PET, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as imaging-guided interventions. This book presents a comprehensive review of current knowledge in imaging of the heart and chest , as well as thoracic interventions and a selection of 'hot topics' of breast imaging. It will be particularly relevant for residents in radiology, but also very useful for experienced radiologists and clinicians specializing in thoracic disease and wishing to update their knowledge of this rapidly developing field.
