Summary

"Written by world authorities, this reference explores the utilization and advancement of state-of-the-art imaging modalities for the analysis of pulmonary function - providing an up-to-date and global perspective of imaging applications with detailed contributions from experts in Europe, North America, Japan, and Australia." "Analyzing the most recently published studies on the topic, this guide illustrates the physiological basis of functional lung imaging and demonstrates its impact on the study of lung disease ... provides practical tools to understand the mechanisms of the lung in states of health and disease for improved diagnostic and treatment practices ... describes the benefits and limitations of radiography, computed tomography, MRI, and nuclear medicine ... applies potential clinical applications of imaging technologies to various disease states ... and focuses on management strategies for common clinical lung disorders."--BOOK JACKET.
