(openPR) - New York/Stuttgart – “Chest Radiology: A Resident’s Manual,” recently published by Thieme, offers a comprehensive introduction to the interpretation of radiographs of the chest. With more than 600 illustrations, this user-friendly manual facillitates effective study with test cases and numerous call-out boxes containing key concepts. This highly visual guide will help residents answer questions on pathology of diseases of the lungs and heart and procedures and diagnoses in difficult cases.

“Its intent is to enable the reader to answer with confidence the most important questions associated with the plain chest radiograph that one encounters in everyday clinical practice,” says author Dr. Johannes Kirchner, MD, General Hospital Hagen, Hagen, Germany. “The present volume on diagnostic chest radiology attempts to awaken the reader’s awareness and appreciation of an interpretation strategy oriented to morphologic details.”

Presented in a practical two-page layout, this concise introduction features explanatory descriptions on the left page and high-quality illustrations on the right making the text perfect for study and quick reference for residents and radiologists-in-training. For further reference, this essential, user-friendly title includes 12 months of online access to 250 must-know thoracic imaging cases on RadCases, Thieme’s searchable database, designed for easy exam review.
