Computed Tomography of the Lung by Johny A. Verschakelen,Walter De Wever Pdf

Computed Tomography of the Lung: A Pattern Approach aims to enable the reader to recognize and understand the CT signs of lung diseases and diseases with pulmonary involvement as a sound basis for diagnosis. After an introductory chapter, basic anatomy and its relevance to the interpretation of CT appearances is discussed. Advice is then provided on how to approach a CT scan of the lungs, and the different distribution and appearance patterns of disease are described. Subsequent chapters focus on the nature of these patterns, identify which diseases give rise to them, and explain how to differentiate between the diseases. The concluding chapter presents a large number of typical and less typical cases that will help the reader to practice application of the knowledge gained from the earlier chapters. Since the first edition, the book has been adapted and updated, with the inclusion of many new figures and case studies.

High-Resolution Computed Tomography of the Lungs: A Pattern Approach by D Karthikeyan Pdf

The advent of chest CT with high-resolution techniques has changed dramatically the understanding of pulmonary diseases. Conditions previously hard to distinguish using traditional film radiography, particularly the diffuse lung diseases, can now be diagnosed rapidly and the extent of the disease process identified. Designed for easy reference in the clinical setting, this highly illustrated 'text and atlas' is a comprehensive but practical guide to performing and interpreting CT imaging studies of the chest. Opening with a review of the fundamentals of high-resolution CT in relation to lung chest anatomy, the second section forming the bulk of the book is a case-based review of both focal and diffuse lung diseases, describing the features of those diseases as visualised using CT and related differential diagnoses where relevant. The book concludes with an extensive appendix of useful information relating to chest imaging, including key facts about all the commonly encountered pathologic entities and protocols that can be referred to in the clinical setting. The book is accompanied by a CD containing all the images from the book with a presentation on pattern approach that can be used for teaching purposes as well as self-assement.

Functional Imaging of the Chest by Hans-Ulrich Kauczor Pdf

For a long time, imaging of the chest was based on the use of either radiography, demonstrating lung morphology, or scintigraphy, looking at lung function. However, as a result of recent developments in CT and MRI technology it is now possible to perform dedicated investigations of different aspects of lung function, such as ventilation, perfusion, gas exchange, and respiratory mechanics. This volume, written by acknowledged experts in the field, provides a well-illustrated and comprehensive review of these novel approaches to functional imaging of the chest. It will be of great assistance to all who are establishing such strategies in the research or clinical arenas for the diagnostic work-up and follow-up of patients with lung diseases.

Lung Imaging and Computer Aided Diagnosis by Ayman El-Baz,Jasjit S. Suri Pdf

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Early diagnosis can improve the effectiveness of treatment and increase a patient’s chances of survival. Thus, there is an urgent need for new technology to diagnose small, malignant lung nodules early as well as large nodules located away from large diameter airways because the current technology—namely, needle biopsy and bronchoscopy—fail to diagnose those cases. However, the analysis of small, indeterminate lung masses is fraught with many technical difficulties. Often patients must be followed for years with serial CT scans in order to establish a diagnosis, but inter-scan variability, slice selection artifacts, differences in degree of inspiration, and scan angles can make comparing serial scans unreliable. Lung Imaging and Computer Aided Diagnosis brings together researchers in pulmonary image analysis to present state-of-the-art image processing techniques for detecting and diagnosing lung cancer at an early stage. The book addresses variables and discrepancies in scans and proposes ways of evaluating small lung masses more consistently to allow for more accurate measurement of growth rates and analysis of shape and appearance of the detected lung nodules. Dealing with all aspects of image analysis of the data, this book examines: Lung segmentation Nodule segmentation Vessels segmentation Airways segmentation Lung registration Detection of lung nodules Diagnosis of detected lung nodules Shape and appearance analysis of lung nodules Contributors also explore the effective use of these methodologies for diagnosis and therapy in clinical applications. Arguably the first book of its kind to address and evaluate image-based diagnostic approaches for the early diagnosis of lung cancer, Lung Imaging and Computer Aided Diagnosis constitutes a valuable resource for biomedical engineers, researchers, and clinicians in lung disease imaging.
