Imaging of Pulmonary Infections

Presents a practical approach to the differential diagnosis of pulmonary

infections based on their radiographic and CT appearances.
The authors discuss the value and limitations of chest radiography, the indications
for CT, the optimal CT techniques, and the role of intravenous contrast. Chapters
describe and illustrate the characteristic imaging manifestations of common
community-acquired and nosocomial pneumonias and various infections seen in
immunocompromised patients.

The book contains over 400 images and many tables that summarize the
characteristic manifestations of bacterial, mycobacterial, fungal, and viral
infections. Over 50 full-color illustrations show histopathologic or microbiologic
features that correlate with imaging findings.
