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

Provides a full work-up of each disease examined-from medical history, current presentation, and diagnosis...through incidence, etiology, clinical presentation, and treatment.
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.
