Imaging of Metastatic Disease to the Thorax
http://www.radiologic.theclinics.com/article/S0033-8389(05)00017-5/abstract Suzanne L. Aquino, MD Tumor imaging is at the forefront of radiology technology and is the focus of most cutting edge research. Radiologic applications for imaging of metastases are applied to initial staging, restaging after neoadjuvant therapy, and follow-up surveillance after therapy for tumor recurrence. CT is the routine imaging choice in staging, restaging, […]

Chest Imaging in Iatrogenic Respiratory Disease
http://www.radiologic.theclinics.com/article/S0033-8389(05)00045-X/abstract Rebecca M. Lindell, MD ; Thomas E. Hartman, MD Latrogenic respiratory disease is an important cause of patient morbidity and mortality. Clinical and radiologic findings are nonspecific and diagnosis can be difficult. Therefore, it is important for physicians to be familiar with the iatrogenic diseases for which their patients are at risk, as well […]
