"Like other Amirsys books, Thoracic Neoplasms uses a succinct bulleted text style and image-rich depictions of neoplastic diseases of the thorax. Neoplasms of the lungs, airways, mediastinum (including thymic and esophageal neoplasms among others), heart, great vessels, pleura, and chest wall are discussed in detail. This book expands on the material presented in Diagnostic Imaging - Chest, second edition, with much more detailed information on the imaging features of specific chest neoplasms in various thoracic organs and locations with histologic correlations where appropriate."--Provided by publisher.
