Respiratory Ebooks


Baum's Textbook of Pulmonary Diseases

Since its first publication in 1965, this text has been the definitive clinical book in the field. Written by more than 100 international experts, the focus is on the clinical aspects of treating pulmonary disease. The text is evidence-based and full of practical examples. Chapters are highly structured to provide quick access to information. The Seventh Edition has been condensed into a single concise yet comprehensive volume.



Imaging of Diseases of the Chest


This is the ideal resource for all those requiring an authoritative and up-to-date review of imaging appearances of diseases of the lung, pleura and mediastinum. Chest radiography and CT are integrated with other imaging techniques, including MRI and PET, where appropriate. The clinical and pathologic features of different diseases are provided in varying degrees of detail with more in depth coverage given to rarer and less well understood conditions.
single volume, comprehensive reference text on chest radiology.Provides in a single resource all of the information a generalist in diagnostic radiology needs to know.
Concisely and clearly written by a team of 4 internationally recognized authors.Avoids the inconsistency, repetition, and unevenness of coverage that is inherent in multi-contributed books.
Multimodality coverage integrated throughout every chapter.All of the applicable imaging modalities are covered in a clinically relevant, diagnostically helpful way.
Approximately 3,000 high quality, good-sized images.Provides a complete visual guide that the practitioner can refer to for help in interpretation and diagnosis.
Covers both common and uncommon disorders.Provides the user with a single comprehensive resource, no need to consult alternative resources.
Access the full text online and download images via Expert Consult
Access the latest version of the Fleischner Society’s glossary of terms for thoracic imaging.
Outlines, summary boxes, key points used throughout.Makes content more accessible by highlighting essential information.
Brand new color images to illustrate Functional imaging techniques.Many of the new imaging techniques can provide functional as well as anatomic information.
Introduction of a second color throughout in summary boxes in order to better highlight key information. There’s a wealth of key information in the summary boxes-will be highlighted more from the narrative text and will therefore be easier to access.
Practical tips on identifying anatomic variants and artefacts in order to avoid diagnostic pitfalls.Many misdiagnoses are the result of basic errors in correlating the anatomic changes seen with imaging to their underlying pathologic processes.
Latest techniques in CT, MRI and PET as they relate to thoracic diseases.
The pace of development in imaging modalities and new applications/refined techniques in existing modalities continues to drive radiology forward as a specialty.
Emphasis on cost-effective image/modality selection.Addresses the hugely important issue of cost-containment by emphasizing which imaging modality is helpful and which is not in any given clinical diagnosis.
COPD and Diffuse Lung Disease, Small Airway disease chapters extensively up-dated.

Felson's Principles of Chest Roentgenology

This classic text is the must-have primer of chest radiology. The Third Edition reflects the latest imaging approaches and terminology while retaining the easy-to-use format that has always made this book so popular. Images and diagrams appear on the left-hand pages while text and multiple-choice review questions appear on the corresponding right-hand pages. An accompanying CD-ROM (not here for download) includes additional images plus self-assessment tests representing three different levels of difficulty – to help you build your diagnostic skills regardless of your current degree of expertise.

Uses the popular “programmed learning” approach to promote fast learning and reference.
Covers every aspects of chest radiology, including basic science, image interpretation, and terminology.
Features CT and MR images as well as traditional radiographs, for easy comparison between modalities.
Introduces PET imaging, now widely used for diagnosing chest diseases.
Provides complete explanations of new terminology.
Replaces old images with the new, digital-quality radiographs.

Pulmonary Function Tests in Clinical Practice

Pulmonary Function Tests in Clinical Practice is an unique book providing a simplified approach to interpreting most diagnostic tests in the field of respiratory medicine. Easy to understand and practical, it contains more than 125 illustrated diagrams and over 50 tables with essential information that summarize the various diagnostic tests and interpretative approaches in a simple and understandable fashion. Of special note are chapters onexercise testing and diagnostic tests for sleep disorders, the latter a new and emerging field.
The book assists residents and fellows in internal medicine, pulmonology, allergology and critical care by explaining the key information obtained from lung volume measurement and increases understanding of pulmonary function tests within the modern diagnostic armamentarium.
