Thoracic Radiology
In this article a practical approach is given for the interpretation of high resolution CT (HRCT) examinations. We will discuss the following subjects:
- Anatomy of the secondary lobule
- Basic HRCT patterns
- Distribution of abnormalities
- Differential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases
PULMONARY FIBROSIS PART II
In this review we present the key findings in the most common interstitial lung diseases. There are numerous interstitial lung diseases, but in clinical practice only about ten diseases account for approximately 90% of cases
LUNG CANCER PART 1
In 2009 a new Lung cancer lymph node map was proposed by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC). In this article we provide illustrations and CT-images for a better understanding of this IASLC lymph node map.

LUNG CANCER PART II
Lung cancer is classified into two categories: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
NSCLC is a group of primary lung neoplasms with the same staging system and therapy and can be cured with surgical resection if it is in an early stage.
In this review we will discuss:
THE SOLITARY PULMONARY NODULE (SOLITARY ‘MASS’)
The differential diagnosis of a solitary pulmonary nodule is broad and management depends on whether the lesion is benign or malignant.
In this overview we will discuss some of the new features that can help to differentiate between benign and malignant nodules based upon CT and PET-CT findings.
MEDIASTINAL MASSES
This review will focus on how to narrow down the differential diagnosis of mediastinal lesions by localizing and characterizing them.
