Radiology of the trachea

The trachea is an integral part of the respiratory system. It is, or should be, visible on every high-quality chest radiograph. Frequently, however, the trachea is neglected as a source of disease by clinicians and radiologists alike. This book is the result of the author's special interest in this topic spanning 15 years. It deals with the major categories of disease involving the trachea, using illustrations to emphasize the crucial role imaging studies play in diagnosing disease in this organ.
