The Most Common Cases in the Typical Day of a Radiologist

New York/Stuttgart, July 2010 – “Thoracic Imaging,” published by Thieme, focuses on one of the main subspecialties in radiology and is the latest addition to the Dx-Direct series of radiology books. These concisely written, well-organized texts are handy references that get straight to the point. Comprehensive in scope, this acclaimed, 12-book series covers all the main subspecialties in the field.

"This book covers the most common cases that are likely to be seen in the typical working day of a radiologist," states author Michael Galanksi, MD.

“Thoracic Imaging,” the 11th book in the successful series, is an up-to-date reference covering the most common and important diagnoses in thoracic imaging and includes the top 100 diagnoses, clearly arranged. More than 250 high-quality illustrations round out this book.

Dx-Direct has been created for residents and trainees seeking clear, portable references for managing the most common problems that arise in the clinical setting. These books have proven to be both a handy and an invaluable tool for board exam preparation.

The editors of the “American Journal of Neuroradiology” write that this series "allows a quick visual review of common diagnoses in a volume that easily fits into one's lab coat."
