Imaging of Pulmonary Infections presents a practical approach to the differential diagnosis of pulmonary infections based on their radiographic and CT appearances.

Covers:

• the value and limitations of chest radiography
• the indications for CT
• the optimal CT techniques
• the role of intravenous contrast

It describes and illustrates the characteristic imaging manifestations of common community-acquired and nosocomial pneumonias and various infections seen in immunocompromised patients.

Imaging of Pulmonary Infections contains more than 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.
