Multidetector CT images of the state-of-the-art quality are increasingly produced in thoracic imaging, and in the near future, the CT imaging is expected to substitute chest radiography especially in outpatient clinic and may be ordered as a routine admission battery examination. In MEDLINE or other search engines, writing down several keywords regarding lung diseases with correct MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) words would promptly bring you several diseases among which you may choose correct diagnosis of pulmonary diseases in consideration of most compatible patient symptoms and signs. Likewise, we authors would like to publish a book that will guide readers to correct diagnosis, when they use correct MeSH words or keywords for describing lung lesion patterns identified on chest CT images. When readers encounter similar patterns or distribution of lung abnormalities at CT, they may need to enumerate many diseases as potential differential diagnoses. This book provides the imaging algorithms based on patterns and distributions of lung lesions and the most relevant differential diagnoses.
