Specialty Imaging: HRCT of the Lung

"This book, written by established thoracic radiologists in the US, contains 577 pages of beautifully illustrated radiology, histopathology and anatomical line images supplemented by easy-to-understand text covering the important pathological and imaging features of a host of different conditions falling under the ‘pathological sieve’ and even some rare conditions. It includes PETCT images, where relevant. The chapter on fundamentals of HRCT is outstanding and the accompanying illustrations are first rate. The reader needs to get a full grasp of anatomical considerations before understanding HRCT patterns and this section more than achieves that aim. The text and illustrations of the secondary pulmonary lobule are superb." Review by Dr Janine Lee, consultant chest radiologist, Aintree University Hospital and Dr John Curtis, RAD Magazine, March 2026 "The third edition of Specialty Imaging: HRCT of the Lung was edited by Santiago Martínez-Jiménez, Professor of Radiology at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine, Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Melissa L. Rosado-de-Christenson, Professor of Medical Imaging, University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson, Tucson, Arizona, USA; and Sherief H. Garrana, Clinical Assistant Professor of Radiology, NYU Langone Health, New York, NY, USA, in collaboration with leading experts in the field. Coming seven years after the previous edition, it represents a necessary and authoritative update to one of the most established reference texts in thoracic imaging. The book, essential for the correct interpretation of the CT signs of lung’s diseases, is part of the excellent and authoritative Specialty Imaging series, continuing its tradition of comprehensiveness, clinical and radiological relevance." Review by Luigi Mansi, European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2026 Review of the previous edition: "The book covers the whole spectrum of diseases of the chest imaged HRCT. The coverage of interstitial lung diseases is particularly excellent. Plentiful illustrations accompany the text, as is necessary for a subject of this nature. It is notable that the book pays good attention to differential diagnoses for each condition, as well as differentiating factors to weigh each of them, which is of direct value in day-to-day clinical practice.... This new edition is a valuable update of its predecessor, and an excellent addition to the field. This is a great resource for both reference and complete review." -Reviewed by Nikhil Madhripan, MD (Baystate Medical Center) Doody's Score: 92, 4 Stars!
