Atlas of Imaging Anatomy: Lungs, Heart, and Mediastinum

First volume in state-of-the-art radiologic text-atlas series details anatomy of the lung, mediastinum, and heart

Normal imaging anatomy and variants, including both diagnostic and surgical anatomy, are the cornerstones of radiologic knowledge. Imaging Anatomy Text-Atlas: Lung, Mediastinum, Heart is the first in a series of four richly illustrated radiologic references edited by distinguished radiologist Farhood Saremi MD and coedited by Damian Sanchez-Quintana MD/PhD, Hiro Kiyosue MD, Francesco F. Faletra MD, Meng Law MD, Dakesh Patel MD, and Shane Tubbs MD, with contributions from an impressive cadre of international authors.

The exquisitely crafted atlas provides high quality multiplanar and volumetric color-coded imaging techniques utilizing CT, MRI, or angiography, supplemented by cadaveric presentations and color drawings that best elucidates each specific anatomic region. Twenty-one chapters with concise text encompass thoracic wall, mediastinum, lung, vascular, and cardiac anatomy, providing readers with a virtual dissection experience. Many anatomical variants along with pathological examples are presented.
