First volume in state-of-the-art radiologic text-atlas series details anatomy of the lung, mediastinum, and heart

Normal imaging anatomy and variants, including both diagnostic and surgical anatomy, are the cornerstones of radiologic knowledge. Imaging Anatomy: Text and Atlas Volume 1, Lungs, Mediastinum, and Heart is the first in a series of four richly illustrated radiologic references edited by distinguished radiologist Farhood Saremi MD and coedited by Damian Sanchez-Quintana MD/PhD, Hiro Kiyosue MD, Francesco F. Faletra MD, Meng Law MD, Dakshesh Patel MD, and Shane Tubbs MD, with contributions from an impressive cadre of international authors.

The exquisitely crafted atlas provides high quality multiplanar and volumetric color-coded imaging techniques utilizing CT, MRI, or angiography, supplemented by cadaveric presentations and color drawings that best elucidates each specific anatomic region. Twenty-one chapters with concise text encompass thoracic wall, mediastinum, lung, vascular, and cardiac anatomy, providing readers with a virtual dissection experience. Many anatomical variants along with pathological examples are presented.

Key Highlights

• More than 1,700 illustrations enhance understanding of impacted regions
• Lung anatomy including the pleura, pulmonary arteries, pulmonary veins, and lymphatics
• Discussion of the tracheobronchial system, mediastinum and thymus, thoracic aorta and major branches, systemic veins, lymphatics and nerves of the thorax, diaphragm, and breast
• Heart anatomy including the atrioventricular septal region; aortic, pulmonary, mitral and tricuspid valves; coronary arteries and myocardial perfusion; coronary veins; and pericardium

This superb resource is essential reading for medical students, radiology residents and veteran radiologists, cardiologists, as well as cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons. It provides an excellent desk reference and practical guide for differentiating normal versus pathologic anatomy.
