Beschreibungen
Imaging of the airways is a fascinating undertaking and, if done expertly, a true art in medicine. Over the past years, imaging of the airways has become ever more exciting and demanding, as new therapies in pulmonary medicine have become available that require careful imaging assessment of patients to aid management and monitor therapeutic success. The increasing importance of imaging in pulmonary medicine is accompanied by a surge of revolutionary developments in imaging technology that enable ever finer assessment of lung structure and function. No modality has seen more rapid innovation over the last decade than computed tomography. Current multidetector-row CT technology makes high-resolution imaging of the chest with a spatial resolution of a couple of 100 m in a matter of mere seconds. Ever more sophisticated post-processing applications enable intuitive, quantitative assessment of lung structure and function in an efficient manner, so that these technologies are increasingly embraced in mainstream medicine to improve patient care. CT of the Airways, which was so expertly assembled by my dear friends Phil Boiselle and David Lynch, is one of the very first tomes that pays tribute to our new found prowess in airway imaging.
Introductory.- Airway Anatomy and Physiology.- Radiologic Anatomy of the Airways.- Pathology of the Airways.- Anatomical Airway Imaging Methods.- Functional Airway Imaging Methods.- Large Airways.- Tracheobronchial Stenoses.- Tracheal and Bronchial Neoplasms.- Tracheobronchomalacia.- Bronchiectasis.- Small Airways.- Asthma.- Infectious Small Airways Diseases and Aspiration Bronchiolitis.- Noninfectious Inflammatory Small Airways Diseases.- Obliterative Bronchiolitis.- Smoking-Related Small Airways and Interstitial Lung Disease.- Small Airways.- Large Airways.- Computed Tomography of Pediatric Small Airways Disease.
<P>This book provides an authoritative resource on the art of CT in the diagnosis and monitoring of pulmonary disease. Exploiting recent technological advances in MDCT and 3-D rendering, <EM>CT of the Airways</EM> contains over 350 high impact figures illustrating relevant findings of necessity to the radiologist. The full spectrum of pulmonary diseases of the large and small airways is covered, including stenoses, neoplasms, bronchiectasis, asthma, infectious diseases, and smoking-related illnesses. Additional chapters address the clinical applications of CT in children. Throughout, the various modalities of CT scanning are discussed in the context of specific disease states, providing key insights to optimize imaging technique and proficiency.</P>

A comprehensive review of large and small airways disorders Emphasis on CT imaging Draws on experts from around the world
<P>This book offers a comprehensive review of large and small airways disorders. It begins with four introductory chapters devoted to airway physiology, anatomy, and anatomical and functional CT imaging methods. These chapters are followed by coverage of large airways disorders in adults, including airway stenoses, neoplasms, malacia and bronchiectasis. The next section examines small airways disorders in adults, including asthma, infectious and non-infectious small airways disorders, obliterative bronchiolitis, and smoking-related airway diseases. The final two chapters detail pediatric large and small airway disorders. </P>
<P>This book is a collaborative project that has greatly benefited from the contributions of many expert authors from around the globe. It is ideal for radiologists and pulmonologists, but the content will also be of interest to thoracic surgeons, pulmonary pathologists, and other physicians who are involved in the care of patients with airway diseases.</P>
