Clinico Radiological Series: Imaging of Interstitial Lung Diseases

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a group of lung diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue and space around the air sacs of the lungs). It is a general category that covers many different lung conditions. Part of the Clinico Radiological Series, this book is a guide to diagnostic imaging of interstitial lung diseases for clinicians. Beginning with an overview of classification and terminology, and various imaging modalities, the following sections describe imaging techniques for many different lung disorders. The final section presents a selection of illustrative cases. The second edition has been fully revised and updated with the latest advances in ILD diagnosis and management. It expands on ILD subtypes, integrates new imaging techniques, and introduces ‘image-based boxes’ for better visual understanding. New classifications and terminology are covered in depth. The comprehensive text is highly illustrated with radiological images and tables. The previous edition (9789386322517) published in 2017.
