Clinical Atlas of Airway Disease, Bronchoscopy, Radiology and Pathology

This unique resource provides an all-in-one reference for diagnosing diseases of the airway. It offers a case-based review of the radiologic, bronchoscopic, and pathologic findings for the full range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic disordersboth common and uncommon. For each disease, it includes a case-based discussion, an anatomical black and white drawing for orientation, two black and white radiographs, two colour bronchoscopic views and a discussion of incidence, treatment, and prognosis. A bonus CD-ROM provides a video-based introduction to 16 invasive pulmonary procedures.
Key Features

* Features bronchoscopic, radiologic, and pathologic views of each disease to facilitate more accurate diagnoses.

* Covers a full range of conditions, including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and small cell carcinoma
* carcinoids
* lipomas, mucoepidermoids, and hamartomas
* tracheomalacia, Wegener's granulomatosis, and Herpes papillomatosis
* and Klebsiella rhinoscleroma, tracheopatria osteoplastica, amyloidosis, and Crohn's disease.
* Includes a bonus CD-ROM featuring a video-based introduction to 16 invasive pulmonary procedures, including thoracentesis, pleural biopsy, rigid bronchoscopy with YAG laser therapy, and percutaneous dilational thracheostomy.
