This open access book focuses on diagnostic and interventional
imaging of the chest, breast, heart, and vessels. It consists of a
remarkable collection of contributions authored by internationally

technological advances with a highly didactical approach. The chapters
are disease-oriented and cover all the relevant imaging modalities,
including standard radiography, CT, nuclear medicine with PET,
ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, as well as imaging-guided
interventions.
As such, it presents a comprehensive review of
current knowledge on imaging of the heart and chest, as well as thoracic
interventions and a selection of "hot topics".
The book is intended for radiologists, however, it is also of interest to clinicians in oncology, cardiology, and pulmonology.
